This week, The New Yorker is announcing the longlists for the 2017 National Book Awards. Earlier this week, we shared the lists in the categories of Young People’s Literature and Poetry. Today, we present the ten contenders for Nonfiction. Check back tomorrow for Fiction.

Kevin Young was a finalist for the National Book Award for Poetry in 2003, and he was on the longlist in that category last year. (In November, he will become the new poetry editor of The New Yorker.) This year, he is on the longlist in Nonfiction, for “Bunk: The Rise of Hoaxes, Humbug, Plagiarists, Phonies, Post-Facts, and Fake News.”

He’s joined on the list by David Grann, a New Yorker staff writer, long-listed for the first time, for “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the F.B.I.” (You can read an excerpt of that book on this Web site.) The longlist also includes one previous winner of the National Book Award: Frances FitzGerald, who received the honor, in 1973, for “Fire in the Lake: The Vietnamese and the Americans in Vietnam.” (That book also won the Pulitzer Prize and the Bancroft Prize.) Forty-four years later, FitzGerald is in contention again, for “The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America.”
