The novelist Andrew Krivak, who wrote “The Sojourn” (Bellevue Literary Press), and Adam Hochschild, the author of “To End All Wars” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), have won the 2012 Dayton Literary Peace Prize for fiction and nonfiction. The runners-up are Ha Jin, for “Nanjing Requiem” (Pantheon Books), and Annia Ciezadlo for “Day of Honey” (Free Press).

The awards were created in 2006 to honor writers whose work advances peace and promotes understanding. The winners, who were announced Sunday, each receive a $10,000 prize. They are to be honored on Nov. 11 in Dayton, Ohio.
