The Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence finalists are in

As the name of the award implies, the New York Public Library’s Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism is dedicated to honoring notable works of non-fiction written by journalists. The winner among the just-announced five finalists, to be revealed May 22, will join a group that includes George Packer, Ellen Schultz, David Finkel, Katherine Boo, Dan Fagin and Anand Giridharadas.
