The National Book Awards

The National Book Awards are a set of American literary awards started in 1950. The awards are presented annually to American authors for literature published in the prior year. The purpose of the awards is "to celebrate the best of American literature, to expand its audience, and to enhance the cultural value of good writing in America." In 1988 the National Book Foundation was established which now oversees and manages these awards.
