RIP Anthony Shadid

By Jane Ciabattari

The National Book Critics Circle mourns the loss of unparalleled reporter/author Anthony Shadid, who died last night, apparently of an asthma attack, while reporting in Syria.

Shadid was a finalist for the 2006 NBCC award for “Night Draws Near: Iraq's People in the Shadow of America's War.”
