Elizabeth Warren Is Now a Grammy Award Nominee for Her Audiobook
Elizabeth Warren — US Senator from Massachusetts, former Harvard Law School professor, and perpetual denier of presidential desires — can add one more title to her resume: Grammy Award nominee.
Yes, Warren was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Spoken-Word Album category for her audiobook ‘A Fighting Chance.’ The memoir, which mixes Warren’s personal story with criticisms of a “rigged’’ financial system, was released in April and sat near the top of the New York Times bestseller’s list for months.
Warren will go up against a tough crowd in the category, including former President Jimmy Carter, James Franco, and Joan Rivers.
On Twitter, Warren said she was “tickled’’ by the honor.
