More than 1,700 books began the autumn with a chance at winning a National Book Award. Now, after a swanky ceremony Wednesday night in Manhattan, the folks behind just five of those books have each emerged with a trophy, a purse of $10,000 and the right to slap that precious gold medallion on the front cover of their work.
The winners of the 70th annual National Book Awards are:
- Fiction: Susan Choi's Trust Exercise
- Nonfiction: Sarah M. Broom's
