Awards: MacArthur Fellows, Nonfiction National Book Award Longlist

September 17, 2014
By Sarah Weinman

The MacArthur Foundation announced their latest group of 21 Fellows (recipients of $625,000 grants), including graphic novelist Alison Bechdel, poet Terrance Hayes, translator/poet Khaled Mattawa, and playwright Samuel Hunter.

The National Book Awards also announced their nonfiction longlist Wednesday. (Notably, the nominees include only one woman; the young people’s literature and poetry longlists were evenly divided between male and female authors.)
