The Virginia Quarterly Review went one-for-three last night at the National Magazine Awards, where National Geographic and Vanity Fair knocked multiple categories out of the park. VQR, which won a pair of awards in 2006, took a prize for the best single-topic issue with the fall’s "South America in the Twenty-First Century" edition, guest-edited by literary wünderkind Daniel Alarcón. This win simply proves the C-VILLE culture department’s theory that, if we’re not actually reading the VQR’s latest and mulling through weighty and wild tracts of writing, we’re reading about it nabbing awards.
