Skip Hollandsworth Wins National Magazine Award

Yes, yes. It’s true. Skip Hollandsworth won a National Magazine Award last night for his Texas Monthly story Still Life. I just hung up with him. He’s walking around NYC with his family, signing autographs right now. But he’ll get to a computer later this evening, and I’ll have another Q&A with him by Monday. Till then, congrats to Skip and to Sachse-based Brian Sweany, the TexMo editor who, we all know, really deserves the National Mag Award.

Update: PS, with the DMN Pulitzer, this means Dallas folk, in a little over a week, have won two of writing’s most prestigious awards. I hear Black Tooth Grin is up for a Nobel and a Booker.
