Literary Awards Hangover: 2017 Edition

It's hard to believe that we've had more hangovers than we've had birthdays, but here we are – our fourth-annual Literary Awards Hangover. With an ice-pack to our noggins and a strong cup of coffee, we scoured our shelves for the next book to chase the fiction nominees we grew to love this national literary awards season (but none more so than  The Water Beetles,  Uncertain Weights and Measures,  Bad Endings, and  I Am a Truck). 

See more details below
Tagged: low, uncertain weights and measures, every little thing, the knife sharpener's belt, singkil, welcome to the circus, through different eyes, the heavy bear, the water beetles, motherwild, a three-tiered pastel dream, a desolate splendor, what is going to happen next, chris eaton a biography, bad endings, wrist, i am a truck, the search for heinrich schlogel, and the birds rained down, literary awards hangover

Navigating our independent follow-up picks for this year's nominees is a lot easier than navigating your way back from post-award festivities: just click the covers you'd like to know more about.
