Torres, Blackhawk, Santos Perez, Santat Win 2023 National Book Awards
Briefly

"On the home front, we are fighting for control of truth and how we interpret truth in this country. Books are being banned, words are being silenced, and writers and others who champion books are under attack. There is a reason I believe why books are under attack-it's because they are so powerful."
"Make no mistake: to ban books is to snuff out the flame of truth, of what it means to be alive, what it means to be aware, what it means to be engaged in the world. To ban books is to cut us off from one another."
