Goodreports is a Canadian indie book site of reviews, essays links and etc. — sort of a home-published, North-of-the-Border Rain Taxi or NYT Books section.

Amidst an assortment of capable criticism, bestseller lists, a trivia challenge and other content is editor Alex Good's "Puffy Awards", launched to honor "that most essential of all contemporary literary arts: the super-hyped ad-copy dustjacket puffery meant to entice the unwary book buyer with specious claims of genius and instant-classic immortality."

This year's winner? Dionne Brand for this blurb, written for the back cover of Michael Ondaatje's Anil's Ghost:

Lightstreaked in tenderness, syntaxed with a radiant humanity, Anil's Ghost is a great book of our time. Ondaatje's characters, intimately drawn, intricately gestured, navigate a world in which ultimately "only stone and rock can hold one person's loss and another's beauty forever." His imperishable words caress, and sing over bones. Bones wrapped in disappearances, felt in haunting absences. As in a line Neruda once wrote, Ondaatje cups his hands around the live coal of life.

In addition to Brand's winning entry, visitors can read all of this year's "nominees" (including blurbs from Bob Shacochis, Alice Munro and Bret Easton Ellis), and, if you're so inclined, you can help Good combat nepotistic book jacket gush by emailing him with nominations for next year's awards.
