The winners of the 2012 National Book Awards were announced earlier this week. The National Book Foundation has presented these awards for over fifty years and they are quickly gaining ground as one of the premiere awards, especially since there was no Pulitzer Prize for Fiction this year. As you know from previous posts, I always pay attention to these awards and make it a point to read the nominees at some point. Without further ado, here are the winners:
Fiction
The Round House by Louise Erdrich
Nonfiction
Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity by Katherine Boo
Young People's Literature
Goblin Secrets by William Alexander
