Geraldine Brooks' “Horse,” a novel about race and forgotten history, and Robert Samuels' and Toluse Olorunnipa's “His Name Is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice” have won awards from the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation. The awards were announced Tuesday by the Dayton foundation, which honors a book of fiction and of nonfiction for using “the power of literature to foster peace, social justice, and global understanding.
” Brooks won the Pulitzer Prize in 2006 for her novel “March,” while “His Name Is George Floyd” was a Pulitzer winner earlier this year. On Tuesday, Lily Brooks-Dalton's “The Light Pirate” was the runner-up for the Dayton fiction prize, and Adam Hochschild's World War I-era history “The Great War, a Violent Peace, and Democracy’s Forgotten Crisis” was runner-up for nonfiction.
