The finalists for the 2023 Kirkus Prize are out. The Kirkus Prize, in its tenth yr, is among the richest literary awards on the earth and grants a prize of $50,000 yearly to authors for works of fiction, nonfiction, and younger readers’ literature.
This yr’s finalists have been books printed between November 1, 2022 and October 31, 2023. Each of them earned the Kirkus star — which Kirkus makes use of to mark “books of exceptional merit” — even earlier than being nominated for the prize.
Tom Beer, Kirkus’ editor-in-chief, stated of the finalists, “From gorgeously written and moving fiction, to deeply researched and clear-eyed nonfiction, to young readers’ literature that entertains and educates, the finalists represent the very best books that Kirkus has seen this year.”
