Annette Gordon-Reed won the 2008 National Book Award for Nonfiction last night, defying the predictions of GalleyCat readers.

At the ceremony, we caught up with Reed to discuss her NBA-winning work of nonfiction, The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family. At the end of the interview, the celebrated author spoke about her next two writing project--ambitious follow-ups to her award-winning history.
