NH 2026 Dublin Nominee Selected

The NH Dublin Committee has selected The Antidote by Karen Russell as our nominee for the 2026 Dublin Literary Award. 

"Interspersed with photographs, it tells the multi-faceted story of a Dust Bowl community from many different angles. It is a wonderfully strange and powerful book about memory and responsibility." --NH Dublin committee member

Books which are nominated for the Award by public libraries from around the world must meet the following criteria:

•  Titles must be works of fiction
•  Titles must demonstrate high literary merit (as determined by the nominating library)
•  Titles must be first published in original English or first published in English translation between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025. 

The NH Dublin committee has already begun reading for the 2027 award which we anticipate will cover works of fiction published in English between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026.
