- The National Book Award for Fiction is one of five annual National Book Awards, which recognize outstanding literary work by United States citizens. Since 1987 the awards have been administered and presented by the National Book Foundation, but they are awards "by writers to writers." The panelists are five "writers who are known to be doing great work in their genre or field." General fiction was one of four categories when the awards were re-established in 1950. For several years beginning 1980, prior to the Foundation, there were multiple fiction categories: hardcover, paperback, first novel or first work of fiction; from 1981 to 1983 hardcover and paperback children's fiction; and only in 1980 five awards to mystery fiction, science fiction, and western fiction. When the Foundation celebrated the 60th postwar awards in 2009, all but three of the 77 previous winners in fiction categories were in print. The 77 included all eight 1980 winners but excluded the 1981 to 1983 children's fiction winners. The award recognizes one book written by a U.S. citizen and published in the U.S. from December 1 to November 30. The National Book Foundation accepts nominations from publishers until June 15, requires mailing nominated books to the panelists by August 1, and announces five finalists in October. The winner is announced on the day of the final ceremony in November. The award is $10,000 and a bronze sculpture; other finalists get $1000, a medal, and a citation written by the panel. Authors who have won the award more than once include such noted figures as William Faulkner, John Updike, William Gaddis, Jesmyn Ward, and Philip Roth, each having won the award on two occasions along with numerous other nominations. Saul Bellow won the award in three decades (1954, 1965, 1971) and is the only author to have won the National Book Award for Fiction three times. (en)
- Il National Book Award per la narrativa (National Book Award for Fiction) è un premio letterario statunitense assegnato annualmente a partire dal 1950. Dal 1980 al 1983 sono stati assegnati premi distinti per la miglior opera in edizione rilegata (Hardcover) e la miglior opera in edizione tascabile (Paperback), originando così la situazione per cui uno stesso libro è stato nominato per due anni consecutivi, prima nell'una e poi nell'altra categoria (è il caso per esempio di Il mondo secondo Garp di John Irving e di William Maxwell, vincitori per l'edizione tascabile, ma già finalisti l'anno precedente). Dal 1980 al 1985 è stata premiata anche la miglior opera prima (First Novel o First Work of Fiction). In un'unica edizione, nel 1980, sono stati assegnati premi distinti anche per i generi, fantascienza, mistery e western. Al 2009, l'unico ad aver vinto il premio tre volte è stato Saul Bellow, nel 1954 con Le avventure di Augie March, nel 1965 con Herzog e nel 1971 con Il pianeta di Mr. Sammler. (it)
