Jennifer Egan Among LA Times Book Prize Winners

The LA Times announced the winners of its 2010 Book Prize over the weekend. Included among the winners was author Jennifer Egan, who spoke critically about the Times earlier this month in an interview, after a Times story detailing her Pulitzer victory included a photo of Jonathan Franzen instead of her. Critics, including Egan, accused the Times of sexism in picturing an established male author instead of the triumphant, emerging female author. Guess Egan’s over it, because unlike several other winners, she was at the event to accept her award.

Full list of winners after the jump.
