Šonedēļ arī ASV paziņoja pretendentus uz šī gada Nacionālo grāmatu balvu (National Book Awards). Finālistus paziņos 14.oktobrī, bet uzvarētāju apbalvos Latvijai un latviešiem svarīgā dienā, proti, 18.novembrī.
Amerikas Grāmattirgotāju asociācija balvu iedibināja 1936.gadā, Otrā pasaules kara laikā to nepiešķīra un atkal atjaunoja 1950.gadā. Balvu pasniedz amerikāņu autoriem, kas savus darbus izdevuši attiecīgā gada laikā ASV. Balvas tiek piešķirtas četrās kategorijās - jauniešu literatūra, dzeja, daiļliteratūra un dokumentālā literatūra. Katrā kategorijā šogad izvirzīti 10 darbi. Zemāk šī gada nominanti pa kategorijām, katram autoram, uzspiežot virsū, saite aizved uz National Book Foundation vietni par konkrēto darbu.

No šī saraksta ar britu literatūras balvu (Bookers prize) sakrīt viens darbs Hanya Yanagihara "A Little Life". Jau rakstīju iepriekš, ka, spriežot pēc apraksta, šis varētu aizraut. Varbūt sagaidīsim arī latviešu valodā, ja jau šo darbu tā virza dažādām balvām.
