From Google AI... "The National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction is an annual American literary award presented by the National Book Critics Circle (NBCC) to recognize the finest fiction books published in English. It is one of several awards given by the NBCC, which includes categories for Nonfiction, Biography, Autobiography, Criticism, and Poetry. The awards are presented in March at the NBCC awards ceremony.
The NBCC aims to 'promote the finest books and reviews published in English' and foster a national conversation about literature, criticism, and reading. Books previously published in English, like re-issues or paperback editions, are not eligible. Translations, short story and essay collections, and self-published books are considered.
The NBCC awards are unique because they are chosen directly by book critics, making them one of the most prestigious literary honors in the United States."
