The National Book Critics Circle Award Winners have been announced early this morning, and I'm not ashamed to say that I haven't been able to read any of these books yet. However, as I'm an avid fiction reader I'd guess that Ben Fountain and his book will get their chance. Anyway, here's the list of the winners:

Fiction: 

Ben Fountain - Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk

Nonfiction: 


Andrew Solomon - Far From the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity
 

Autobiography: 

Leanne Shapton - Swimming Studies
 

Criticism: 

Marina Warner - Stranger Magic

Biography: 


Robert Caro - The Passage of Power 

Poetry: 


D.A. Powell - Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys
