| Salon, the online arts and culture magazine, has cited books by two Rice faculty members among its “Best of 2010” selections. The site asked prominent writers to choose their favorite books of the year. The New York Times’ Pulitzer-Prize-winning foreign correspondent Anthony Shadid selected “Faith Misplaced: The Broken Promise of U.S.-Arab Relations, 1820-2001” by Ussama Makdisi, Rice’s Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair of Arab Studies and a professor of history. Poet and memoirist Paul Guest chose “The Passage,” the first installment of a post-apocalyptic vampire trilogy by Justin Cronin, professor of English. In a separate accolade, Time Magazine also chose Cronin’s “The Passage” as one of its “Top 10 Fiction Books” of 2010. |
