The National Book Award longlist for young people’s literature features a range of grownup topics, from the deadly famine in Ukraine in the 1930s to the 1963 March on Washington to the underpinnings of the Internet.
The list of 10 was announced Wednesday by the National Book Foundation, which also released 10 nominees in literature in translation, with original languages including Korean, Arabic and French.
In young people’s literature, books include Katherine Marsh’s “The Lost Year: A Survival Story of the Ukrainian Famine,” Dan Nott’s graphic novel “Hidden Systems: Water, Electricity, the Internet, and the Secrets Behind the Systems We Use Every Day” and Yohuru Williams’ and Michael G. Long’s “More Than a Dream: The Radical March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom,” which draws upon images and reporting from Black newspapers.
In translation, Juan Cárdenas was nominated for “Devil of the Provinces,” translated from the Spanish by Lizzie Davis; Bora Chung was cited for “Cursed Bunny,” translated from the Korean by Anton Hur; and David Diop for “Beyond the Door of No Return,” translated from the French by Sam Taylor.
