National Book Award Nominees
Earlier this week the National Book Award nominees were announced:
Fiction
- Mark Z. Danielewski, Only Revolutions
- Ken Kalfus, A Disorder Peculiar to the Country
- Richard Powers, The Echo Maker
- Dana Spiotta, Eat the Document
- Jess Walter, The Zero
Non-Fiction
- Taylor Branch, At Canaan’s Edge: America in the King Years, 1965-68
- Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq’s Green Zone
- Timothy Egan, The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl
- Peter Hessler, Oracle Bones: A Journey Between China’s Past and Present
- Lawrence Wright, The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11
The Looming Tower is my early favorite with At Canaan’s Edge on its heels. If Imperial Life in the Emerald City wins I'll chalk it up to judges' anti-Bush sentiment. There aren't any prominent conservatives as non-fiction judges.
