They've announced the finalists for the (American) National Book Critics Circle Awards in the six categories they honor (fiction, general non-fiction, auto- and biography, criticism, and poetry), as well as the special-category winners.
Claudia Rankine's Citizen: An American Lyric managed the very impressive feat of being a finalist in two categories -- poetry and criticism. See the Graywolf publicity page, or get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk.
One work in translation slipped in -- Thomas Piketty's very deserving Capital in the Twenty-First Century -- but the only title under review at the complete review is Vikram Chandra's Geek Sublime (yet another Graywolf title !), which, for some reason, is a 'criticism'-finalist.
