The National Book Foundation’s mission ‘is to celebrate the best literature published in the United States, expand its audience, and ensure that books have a prominent place in our culture’ as per their website.
The National Book Awards will be hosted by LeVar Burton this year.
Oprah Winfrey – known for her love of literature and famous book club – is set to make a speech at the event.
Poet Rita Dove and writer Paul Yamazaki will be the recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Burton took over the role from actress Drew Barrymore, after her invitation to host was rescinded following her controversial announcement to resume her syndicated talk show amid the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes.
‘The National Book Awards is an evening dedicated to celebrating the power of literature, and the incomparable contributions of writers to our culture,’ the foundation said in a statement to The Los Angeles Times in September.

‘Our commitment is to ensure that the focus of the Awards remains on celebrating writers and books, and we are grateful to Ms. Barrymore and her team for their understanding in this situation.’
Barrymore later postponed the launch of the fourth season due to criticism, but the National Book Foundation had already decided to go with another host.
‘We are honored to have LeVar Burton — a longtime friend and ally of the National Book Foundation — join us to celebrate the power of stories,’ Ruth Dickey, executive director of the National Book Foundation, shared at the time.
Burton previously hosted the 70th National Book Awards in 2019.
The event will pick winners in the categories of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, translated literature, and young people’s literature.
