Five young writers whose future work is predicted to make an enduring mark on American literature have been named as ones to watch by the US National Book Foundation.
Dubbed the “five under 35 honorees”, the debut fiction authors were selected by award-winning writers including Ta-Nehisi Coates and Jacqueline Woodson. With former names chosen for the honour including the Pulitzer finalist Karen Russell, Orange prize winner and author of The Tiger’s Wife Téa Obreht, and 2014 National Book Award winner Phil Klay, the work of this year’s lineup, said the foundation, “promises to leave a lasting impression on the literary landscape”.
