　　Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

　　The winner in Culture critics' survey is Junot Diaz's first novel, about a bookworm called Oscar, who dreams of finding love. It also was named as the number-one book by the most critics. "It is a big deal for me to fall in love with a book whose topic is science fiction, fantasy and imagination, "says Elizabeth Taylor, the Chicago Tribune's literary editor.

　　Edward P. Jones, The Known World

　　Set in 1855 on the plantation of Henry Townsend--born a slave, now a slave-owner-The Known World is a success, leading readers into a complex moral time without making simple judgments. Facing an early death, Townsend thinks about the future of his 50-acre Virginia plantation and the slaves he treats the way his former owner, now his teacher, taught him.

　　Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall

Mantel's boldly reimagined legend of 16th Century Europe, told from the point of Thomas Cromwell, winning the Man Booker and National Book Critics Circle awards, was adapted to the stage and has been filmed as a new BBC miniseries(短剧). Mary Ann Gwinn, Seattle Times book editor writes, "I have never felt so completely buried into a character's mind, not to mention a long ago and far-away place. "

　　Marilynne Robinson, Gilead

　　Rev John Ames, a small town minister, describes his life and anti-slavery tradition to his young son in beautiful language in this first part of Robinson's trilogy (along with Home and Lila). "I can't think of a living novelist who writes more seriously and profoundly about religious faith, which has become an almost forbidden topic in modern literature, "writes Dawn Raffel, who ranked Gilead first on her list. Critic Karen R. Long says, "This multi-generational story tells a desire for transcendence (超越), and makes a case for spiritual life in the 21st century- its own kind of miracle. Gilead will be read in 100 years. "
