(American) National Book Award finalists
They've announced the finalists for this year's (American) National Book Awards in all five categories.
The only title under review at the complete review is in the Translated Literature category -- Stephen Snyder's translation of Ogawa Yoko's The Memory Police -- though I should be getting to the Krasznahorkai soon as well.

The winners will be announced 20 November.
