The National Book Award Longlists were just announced last week. The Awards have been around for almost 100 years (except for a WWII hiatus), and celebrate books published in the US by US authors. It is among the most prestigious literary awards.
National Book Award winners are among my favorite books, and this year’s nominees are pretty diverse.
