非虚构类

三月刊《纽约客》曾节选李翊云的回忆录《自然万物只是生长》(Things in Nature Merely Grow),作品记述其子詹姆斯与文森特相继自尽的悲痛经历。"任何言辞都难以承受这般沉重:文字终究苍白无力",她在书写詹姆斯之死时,重新审视那些惯常的悼念用语。"但即便陈词滥调也承载着不可辩驳的真相。为詹姆斯写下的每个字都注定残缺。终有一天,我的理解会与他的本质彻底割裂"。奥马尔·埃尔·阿卡德(Omar El Akkad)的著作《终有一日,世人皆言从未赞同此事》(One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This)抨击西方世界对以色列加沙战争的默许纵容,同样直面了死亡面前语言的局限性。这两部作品皆入选本届长名单,该类别还收录了来自越南、俄罗斯与伊朗的回忆录及纪实文学。十位作家均首获美国国家图书奖提名。
