NEW YORK — Ta-Nehisi Coates’ best-selling “Between the World and Me” and Hanya Yanagihara’s sleeper hit “A Little Life” are among the works on the shortlist for the National Book Awards.

Lauren Groff’s acclaimed novel about marriage, “Fates and Furies,” and photographer Sally Mann’s memoir “Still Life,” were other finalists announced Wednesday by the National Book Foundation, the nonprofit organization that presents the awards. Winners in each of the four competitive categories — fiction, nonfiction, poetry and young people’s literature — will be announced at a Nov. 18 ceremony in Manhattan, hosted by humorist Andy Borowitz. Don DeLillo and James Patterson will receive honorary prizes.

The awards will be a showcase for numerous younger writers, from the 40-year-old Coates to the 37-year-old Groff to 23-year-old cartoonist Noelle Stevenson, a finalist in young people’s literature.

Longlists of 10 for the National Book Awards were released last month, with judges on Wednesday narrowing the number in each category to five. A total of 1,428 books were submitted to the judging panels, which consist of authors, critics, booksellers and others in the publishing community willing to set aside weeks and even months to read through the nominated material.
