The longlist for this year's National Book Award in Nonfiction includes one of my favorite books of the year, David Grann's "Killers of the Flower Moon."
Of course, I haven't read every one of these, and I'm guessing they're all winners. Some of them, such as Graywolf Press' "Bunk," by Kevin Young, and Riverhead's "The Future is History," by Masha Gessen, won't be out until later in the fall. (Reviews of both forthcoming.)
