The winner of the 2010 Orion Book Award is Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing: Living in the Future, by Charles Bowden. For additional information, visit Orion Magazine's website.
Selection committee chair Don Snow describes 'Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing' as a daring work in which ‘moments of acute consciousness and cognition seem to be refracted through a prism, scattering the light of various events across a mosaic of images, sensations, and sometimes stunning realizations. In the middle of it all, our narrator refuses to comfort us with familiar notions of activism, or betterment, or moral centeredness.’ – from Orion Magazine Website
