The National Book Critics Circe Award is a volunteer organization of about 600 reviewers and review editors. The winners are chosen by the 24-member board. The award has considerable prestige among authors, though no money prize. It is one of the three most prominent American book awards, along with the Pulitzer and the National Book Award. Since its founding in 1974, their centerpiece is their annual award for the best book in each of five categories: fiction, general nonfiction, biography/autobiography, poetry, and criticism.  The awards for Best Fiction are listed below.
