It's Oscar time in the world of American publishing tonight when the National Book Awards are presented in New York City. You can watch a live webcast of the awards ceremony here
on the National Book Foundation website. (The ceremony begins at 6:40
pm CST, and the actual awards are scheduled to be announced starting at
7:50 pm CST.)
Finalists for the fiction award are Rabih Alameddine for An Unnecessary Woman; Anthony Doerr for All the Light We Cannot See; Phil Klay for Redeployment; Emily St. John Mandel for Station Eleven; and Marilynne Robinson for Lila -- each and every one of which, we must say, we have loved here at The Book Stall!
Nonfiction finalists are Roz Chast for Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant?; Anand Gopal for No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War Through Afghan Eyes; John Lahr for Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh; Evan Osnos for Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China; and Edward Wilson for The Meaning of Human Existence.
