For fiction, the nominees are Aleksandar Hemon's The Lazarus Project, Rachel Kushner's Telex From Cuba, Peter Matthiessen's Shadow Country, Marilynne Robinson's Home, and Salvatore Scibona's The End. For nonfiction, a bunch of really depressing-sounding books. Winners are announced November 19. [National Book Foundation]
