全美書評人協會獎公佈年度圖書提名
Ta-Nehisi Coates, already a National Book Award winner for “Between the World and Me,” now has a chance to add a National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism to his mantel. Mr. Coates’s book, a meditation on racism in America written in the form of a letter to his son, joins works by the novelist Lauren Groff, the memoirist and critic Vivian Gornick and the poet Ada Limón among those nominated for the awards.
已憑藉《在我和世界之間》(Between the World and Me)獲得國家圖書獎(National Book Award)的塔-奈希西·科茨(Ta-Nehisi Coates)，現在有可能把全美書評人協會獎(National Book Critics Circle Award)的最佳評論書籍獎也收入囊中。科茨的書是以給兒子寫信的方式表達對美國種族主義的思考。同時獲得提名的有小說家勞倫·格羅夫(Lauren Groff)、傳記作家兼評論家薇薇安·戈尼克(Vivian Gornick)和詩人阿達·利蒙(Ada Limón)等。
The awards, determined by a jury of critics and book review editors, honor excellence in six categories – autobiography, biography, criticism, fiction, nonfiction and poetry. The winners will be named on March 17. On Monday, however, the group announced the recipients of its two annual citations: Wendell Berry, an environmentalist, farmer and novelist, won the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, while Carlos Lozada, the nonfiction critic for The Washington Post, captured the Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing.
