Today, the Gotham Book Prize, an annual award first created in the early months of the pandemic to encourage and honor writing about New York City, announced the winners of its fifth-annual prize: Paradise Bronx: The Life and Times of New York’s Greatest Borough by Ian Frazier and Movement: New York’s Long War to Take Back It Streets from the Car by Nicole Gelinas. The two winners, as selected by a jury made up of leading New Yorkers and authors, will split the $50,000 prize.

We are excited to announce that Flesh and Spirit: Confessions of a Young Lord by Felipe Luciano is a winner of the Forty-Fifth Annual American Book Awards given by The Before Columbus Foundation.
