Each year, there are new and exciting titles to read across all genres. The Kirkus Prize seeks out the best of these releases and grants them the Kirkus Star. The very best of the Kirkus Star books is selected at the end of the year and granted the Kirkus Prize and a prize of $50,000.
Currently, the Kirkus Prize is accumulating selections. Some of the nonfiction forerunners include Simon Winchester’s Pacific, which is a follow-up to his previous book on the Atlantic Ocean. Pacific explores 10 aspects of the Pacific Ocean and focuses on interesting anecdotes to teach readers about the ocean in an entertaining and engaging manner.
Another Kirkus Star nonfiction book is Jay Parini’s Empire of Self, a biography of novelist and essayist Gore Vidal. Parini’s personal relationship with Vidal aided him in the writing of the book, which covers the novelist’s life in full detail, not shying away from the controversial or the negative.
