Hope for Shut-Ins
The first Costa Book Award (the Whitbread Book Award on caffeine) was awarded to agoraphobic UK author, Stef Penney, for her book The Tenderness of Wolves, a chilly 19th-century epic set in northern Canada.Penney, the winner of over $57,000, has never been to Canada and found all she needed to know about our fair country at the British Library, proving once and for all that going outside is highly over-rated and that fiction, at its best, is a pack of lies.

It's so totally not us, it's them.
Here's to the proliferation of big fat compulsively readable lies.
