This year’s National Book Awards ceremony was an evening with a message: We can do better.  

The online-only event included a montage of Black winners past — narrated by LeVar Burton — with an admission: From 1936 to 1999, only 13 writers of color won a National Book Award. But this year’s event went some ways towards improving that situation; almost every honor went to a writer of color. 

Check out our coverage of the evening – and links to coverage of some of the winning authors – here. And congratulations to winners Kacen Callender, Yu Miri and translator Morgan Giles, Don Mee Choi, Tamara Payne and Charles Yu!
