The National Book Critics Circle Awards 2011

On Thursday, March 8, at the New School’s Tishman Auditorium, The National Book Critic Circle presented its awards for publishing year 2011.

Founded in 1974, the NBCC is a nonprofit organization of book reviewers and critics that honors outstanding writing and fosters a national conversation about reading, criticism, and literature, in part through annual awards for the year’s outstanding books. Books are directly nominated and chosen by leading book critics. The NBCC thus offers the unique opportunity for professional critics to recognize and reward literary excellence.

*Disclaimer* I am writing from halfway through MOCKINGJAY --- the final book in THE HUNGER GAMES Trilogy. Right now I am Team Gale. My friends have ordered me to finish the trilogy before I pick my team. However, for research purposes I am going to write down my opinions before I get to the moment where whatever happens --- according to aforementioned friend --- is Gale’s fault.
