Established in 2012, the Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction are awarded by the American Library Association to one adult novel and one adult nonfiction book every year. They are chosen by a panel of seven library experts who work with adult readers, and each winner receives $5,000. Here are this year’s winners.
Continuing its sweep of most of the major awards, the 2025 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction goes to James by Percival Everett. Allison Escoto, chair of this year’s selection committee, said, “Percival Everett has written a modern masterpiece, a beautiful and important work that offers a fresh perspective from the eyes of a classic character.”
