"Generosity" Makes NY Times List of 100 Notable Books for 2009

Powers has made the 2009 New York Times 100 Notable Books list. In her intro to the list, Janet Maslin writes

The selections on our 10-book lists winnow down a wide array of possibilities. Of the tens of thousands of books published each year, the daily Times reviews only about 250. Each of us chose his or her share of those titles for review. Now Michiko Kakutani, Dwight Garner and I further narrow down those choices, and each of us can tell you which 10 books we’ll remember best.
