The longlist for this year's National Book Award in Nonfiction includes one of my favorite books of the year, David Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon."
Of course, I haven't read every one of these, and I'm guessing they're all winners. Some of them, such as Graywolf Press' "Bunk," by Kevin Young, and Riverhead's "The Future is History," by Masha Gessen, won't be out until later in the fall. (Reviews of both forthcoming.) Here's the longlist for nonfiction. Tomorrow: fiction. Erica Armstrong Dunbar, "Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge" Atria
Frances FitzGerald, "The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America" Simon & Schuster
James Forman, Jr., "Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America" Farrar, Straus & Giroux
Masha Gessen, "The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia" Riverhead
David Grann, "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the F.B.I." Doubleday
