The Foundation sadly marks the passing of three former National Book Award Finalists: novelists Louis Auchincloss and J. D. Salinger and historian Howard Zinn. Auchincloss was a four-time Fiction Finalist for Pursuit of the Prodigal (1960), The House of Five Talents (1961), The Rector of Justin (1965), and The Embezzler (1967). Salinger was a Finalist twice for The Catcher in the Rye (1952) and Franny and Zooey (1962). Zinn was a 1981 Finalist in History (Paperback) for A People's History of the United States.
