Last night they announced the winners of the (American) National Book Awards (not to be confused with the (Specsavers) National Book Awards -- which are, after all, in an entirely different class as the "Oscars of the publishing industry" ...)).
The fiction prize went to The Round House, by Louise Erdrich; get your copy at Amazon.com; no UK edition yet, apparently).
The non- prize went to Behind the Beautiful Forevers, by Katherine Boo; get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
