NEW YORK (AP) — Salman Rushdie's “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder,” his explicit and surprisingly resilient memoir about his brutal stabbing in 2022, is a nominee for the National Book Awards. Canada's Anne Carson, one of the world's most revered poets, was cited for her latest collection, “Wrong Norma.”

The National Book Foundation, which presents the awards, released long lists of 10 Thursday for nonfiction and poetry. The foundation announced the lists for young people's literature and books in translations earlier in the week and will reveal the fiction nominees on Friday. Judges will narrow the lists to five in each category on Oct. 1, and winners will be announced during a Manhattan dinner ceremony on Nov. 20.

Rushdie, 77, has been a literary star since the 1981 publication of “Midnight's Children” and unwittingly famous since the 1988 release of “The Satanic Verses" and the death decree issued by Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini for the novel's alleged blasphemy. But “Knife” brings him his first National Book Award nomination; he was a British citizen, based in London, for “Midnight's Children” and other works and would have been ineligible for the NBAs. Rushdie has been a U.S. citizen since 2016.

Besides “Knife,” the nonfiction list includes explorations of faith, identity, oppression, global resources and outer space, among them Hanif Abdurraqib's “There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension,” Rebecca Boyle's “Our Moon: How Earth’s Celestial Companion Transformed the Planet, Guided Evolution, and Made Us Who We Are” and Jason De León's “Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling.”

The other nonfiction nominees were: Eliza Griswold's “Circle of Hope: A Reckoning with Love, Power, and Justice in an American Church,” Kate Manne's “Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia,” Ernest Scheyder's “The War Below: Lithium, Copper, and the Global Battle to Power Our Lives," Richard Slotkin's “A Great Disorder: National Myth and the Battle for America,” Deborah Jackson Taffa's “Whiskey Tender" and Vanessa Angélica Villarreal's “Magical/Realism: Essays on Music, Memory, Fantasy, and Borders.”

Along with Carson's “Wrong Norma,” poetry nominees include Pulitzer Prize winner Dianne Seuss' latest, “Modern Poetry"; Fady Joudah's elliptically titled “(...)”; Dorianne Laux's “Life on Earth”; Gregory Pardlo's “Spectral Evidence”; and Rowan Ricardo Phillips' “Silver.”

Others on the poetry list were Octavio Quintanilla's “The Book of Wounded Sparrows,” m.s. RedCherries' “mother,” Lena Khalaf Tuffaha's “Something About Living” and Elizabeth Willis' “Liontaming in America.”
