Features: This collection reviews all the novels that won the National Book Award in the United States from its inception in 1950 to 2000. The authors are mostly senior, middle-aged, and young teachers from foreign language departments of various universities in China, teaching British and American literature. The reviews are based on the original works. From these more than fifty winning novels, we can gain some insight into the literary tastes of Americans and the perspectives of some outstanding American writers on America and the world. Many of them also represent the views of a significant portion of Americans on contemporary society, and perhaps we can even see some characteristics of contemporary American literature in them.
