Hi Mariam, It's less relevant now, given the sources found tag, but this book won an edgar award, a literary award that's been around since the 40s Heyallkatehere (talk) 19:33, 9 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I'm not entirely sure if an Edgar is "major" enough for WP:NBOOK#2 on its own (I think that's more Pulitzer/Strega/etc), but it's a very good sign that it's gotten plenty of reviews. Especially for books more recent than the past ~20 years, I'd highly recommend looking through places like ProQuest via WP:TWL for reviews to make the NBOOK pass more obvious.
