A National Book Award winner for Best Nonfiction of 2020, The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X (Liveright) was begun nearly three decades ago by Les Payne, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and completed by his daughter, researcher Tamara Payne.
The book sets the story of Malcolm Little s life against the backdrop of American history, and through hundreds of hours of interviews the authors conjure a biography that rewrites the known arc of the human rights advocate s life and death.

The Book Report: Gift ideas for book lovers
By Washington Post book reviewer Ron Charles:
There s no better gift than a book this holiday season. Here are a few titles your friends and family might love:
My favorite novel this year is Homeland Elegies (Little, Brown), by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar. Part memoir, part fiction, this remarkable book tells the story of a Pakistani-American and his father who have very different reactions to the rise of Donald Trump.
In the experience of this one family, Akhtar explores the political and economic forces that have brought America to this conflicted and traumatic era.
