NYT Notable

Today The New York Times came out with its 100 Notable Books of the Year, broken into Fiction and Nonfiction categories.



Looking at the nonfiction category, a plethora of books looks at the current state of affairs, primarly terrorism, Osama bin Laden, and September 11. Not surprisingly, with many biographies, histories, and science books making up the rest, only one of the 100 could be called an architecture book, Up From Zero: Politics, Architecture, and the Rebuilding of New York by Paul Goldberger, which happens to also look at the events of September 11.



I inadvertantly published this post before I could mention Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers, an architecturally-related notable book by the award-winning comic artist.
