Just one NONFICTION book completed in September—but it likely would have been the winner anyway. This is the kind of narrative nonfiction that really grabs me.

THIS is what narrative nonfiction should be. David Simon‘s classic account of a year in the Baltimore Police Dept.‘s homicide unit, it became the basis for the award-winning TV series “Homicide: Life in the Streets” and “The Wire.” It‘s dark, it‘s dreary, it‘s gritty —and it‘s incredibly compelling. I am in awe of Simon‘s prose —he has a gift for putting words together.
