Honestly, I get most of my 'award-winning' picks from the Tournament of Books run by The Morning News. It's not a traditional award, but the commentary and matchups introduce me to more compelling debates about recent literary fiction than a plain winners list. That said, 'The Seventh Perfection' by Sam J. Miller was a Nebula finalist, and it's a wildly inventive fantasy novella that uses second-person narration in a way that completely hooks you. For more mainstream prizes, the International Booker often highlights translated works I'd never find otherwise—'Time Shelter' by Georgi Gospodinov comes to mind, a novel about nostalgia that's both funny and deeply unsettling. I gravitate toward these because they break the mold of the typical domestic drama that dominates some other awards.

Award lists are my to-read list hack. Recent standouts: 'Babel' by R.F. Kuang won the Nebula, a dark academia fantasy that's super popular. 'Cursed Bread' by Sophie Mackintosh was on the Booker longlist and is a hypnotic, strange read. 'The Marriage Portrait' by Maggie O'Farrell was a Women's Prize finalist and is all tense, historical suspense. 'Checkout 19' by Claire-Louise Bennett got prize attention too, very stream-of-consciousness. Prize buzz doesn't always mean I'll love it, but it gives me a starting point for what's being discussed.

I keep a note on my phone for this. In the last year or two: the Booker Prize was won by 'Prophet Song' by Paul Lynch, a dystopian novel that's reportedly a tough but intense read. The Nobel went to Jon Fosse, so his 'Septology' is the big deal, though it's a commitment. The National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction was 'The Netanyahus' by Joshua Cohen, which is academic satire. The PEN/Hemingway went to 'Night of the Living Rez' by Morgan Talty, a stunning short story collection. The Hugo for Best Novel was 'Nettle & Bone' by T. Kingfisher, which is fantastic if you like dark fairy tales. Don't sleep on the Pen/Faulkner winner either—'The Days of Afrekete' by Asali Solomon. Awards are a snapshot, but they've definitely pushed me toward authors I now follow closely.

Tracking recent prize winners feels more like a seasonal ritual than a pure reading guide for me. The last couple of Booker and National Book Award lists have been stacked with historical fiction and family sagas that, while obviously well-crafted, sometimes blur together in memory. I find the short stories or poetry collections that sneak onto these lists far more memorable—like Percival Everett's 'The Trees' making the Booker shortlist; that book has a bite most award-friendly novels lack. The Pulitzer for Fiction went to 'Demon Copperhead', which absolutely deserves the attention, but I noticed a lot of online chatter was from readers who felt seen by its portrayal of rural struggle rather than its literary merits alone, which is interesting.

Award season also pushes me toward writers I've missed. After 'Trust' by Hernan Diaz won the Pulitzer, I finally picked it up and was pulled in by its structural playfulness, though I'll admit the middle section dragged for me. The Women's Prize for Fiction seems to consistently highlight voices I end up loving, like Ruth Ozeki's 'The Book of Form and Emptiness'. I'm less tuned into the Nobel selections lately—the choices feel more esoteric, sending me down Wikipedia rabbit holes about their careers rather than straight to the bookstore. The real value might be in the longlists; they introduce a wider, weirder set of books before the consensus narrows it down to one winner.

Major awards? The big recent ones I've seen talked about are Barbara Kingsolver's 'Demon Copperhead' winning the Pulitzer and the Women's Prize, Sebastian Barry's 'Old God's Time' getting Booker recognition, and Hernan Diaz's 'Trust' also grabbing a Pulitzer. The National Book Award for fiction went to 'The Rabbit Hutch' by Tess Gunty. For something different, 'Our Share of Night' by Mariana Enriquez won some horror/weird fiction awards and is incredible, way more gripping than most literary prize fodder.

Which top books for reading have won literary awards recently?

Lately, I’ve been diving into books that have been recognized for their literary brilliance, and a few stand out. 'The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida' by Shehan Karunatilaka won the Booker Prize recently, and it’s a haunting yet darkly humorous exploration of life, death, and identity in Sri Lanka. Another gem is 'Trust' by Hernan Diaz, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It’s a layered narrative about wealth, power, and deception in early 20th-century America. I also loved 'Demon Copperhead' by Barbara Kingsolver, which won the Women’s Prize for Fiction. It’s a modern retelling of 'David Copperfield' set in Appalachia, tackling themes of poverty and resilience. These books are not just award-winners but also deeply impactful reads that stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
