I am here talking with Harold Augenbraum, the Executive Director of the National Book Foundation.
Me: Who do you use instead of PricewaterhouseCoopers?
Augenbraum: DB Bistro Moderne. [HA has confused my question with the caterer, but this is also interesting and he is a convivial fellow.] One of the perks of being a judge is that they get to pick the restaurant they get to go to. They get $2,500 for six months’ worth of work. Fortunately, Per Se is not open for lunch.
