The 25 finalists for this year’s National Book Award have been revealed, and it’s time to make room on your bookshelf for these superior reads.

Among the list are returning winners such as Terrance Hayes, who won the poetry award for Lighthead back in 2010. This year, his poetry collection American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin has advanced to the shortlist. Lauren Groff, who previously was a finalist for Fates and Furies in 2015, has earned a spot on the shortlist for her short story collection Florida. There are plenty of newcomers this year as well, including Jamel Brinkley, a fresh voice in fiction honored for his stories collection titled A Lucky Man. Tayari Jones, who was long listed for her Oprah-celebrated novel An American Marriage, regrettably did not make the cut.

This year is also the first time since 1983 that the National Book Awards have added a competitive category – a prize for Translated Literature.

On November 14th, the National Book Awards for 2018 will be announced. Check out the comprehensive list of finalists below.
