Here are the long price lists of the national book of 2018, with a new category: NPR

Each year, the National Book Foundation presents some new faces or unknown names among the nominees for its annual literary prize. This time, however, there is a twist. One of the national book awards categories is something that readers have not seen for a while: a prize for a work in translation.

Since the early 1980s – this time (and this brief) time when the award was renamed the American Book Award, the National Book Foundation has officially recognized translated literature. The group has not even added a new category, period, for more than two decades.

But in November, when the organization organizes its luxury gala in New York, the honors will be awarded to an exemplary work of fiction or non-fiction, translated into English and published in the United States.

For the moment, 10 books remain in the race for this prize.

This is also the case for classical categories. Check out the long lists of nominees for the National Book Awards and check back here on October 10, when the finalists should be announced.
