全美书评人协会奖公布年度图书提名

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.

已凭借《在我和世界之间》(Between the World and Me)获得国家图书奖(National Book Award)的塔-奈希西·科茨(Ta-Nehisi Coates)，现在有可能把全美书评人协会奖(National Book Critics Circle Award)的最佳评论书籍奖也收入囊中。科茨的书是以给儿子写信的方式表达对美国种族主义的思考。同时获得提名的有小说家劳伦·格罗夫(Lauren Groff)、传记作家兼评论家薇薇安·戈尼克(Vivian Gornick)和诗人阿达·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.

全美书评人协会奖的评审团由评论家和书评编辑组成，奖励六个门类的优秀作品——自传、传记、评论、虚构类作品、非虚构类作品和诗歌。评选结果将于3月17日公布。不过，周一（1月18日），该组织公布了两个年度奖项的获得者：环保人士、农夫兼小说家温德尔·贝里(Wendell Berry)获得伊万·桑德罗夫终身成就奖(Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award)；《华盛顿邮报》(The Washington Post)的非虚构类评论家卡洛斯·洛萨达(Carlos Lozada)获得诺娜·巴拉基安优秀评论奖(Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing)。
