“Stories from the island of Hispaniola were winners Thursday night at the National Book Critics Circle awards: Dominican-American Junot Diaz took the fiction prize for “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” and Edwidge Danticat of Haiti was cited in autobiography for “Brother, I’m Dying.”

The general nonfiction prize went to Harriet A. Washington’s “Medical Apartheid,” while the winner in biography was Tim Jeal’s “Stanley: The Impossible Life of Africa’s Greatest Explorer.” The poetry award went to Mary Jo Bang for “Elegy,” and the criticism winner was Alex Ross’ “The Rest is Noise.”"*
