American literary award
The PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction is awarded annually by the
PEN/Faulkner Foundation to the authors of the year's best works of fiction by living American citizens.
[1] The winner receives US$15,000 and each of four runners-up receives US$5000. Finalists read from their works at the presentation ceremony in the Great Hall of the
Folger Shakespeare Library in
Washington, D.C. The organization claims it to be "the largest peer-juried award in the country."
[1] The award was first given in 1981.
[2]
The PEN/Faulkner Foundation is an outgrowth of
William Faulkner 's use of his 1949
Nobel Prize winnings to create the
William Faulkner Foundation ; among the charitable goals of the foundation was "to establish a fund to support and encourage new fiction writers." The foundation's first award for a "notable
first novel ," called the
William Faulkner Foundation Award , was granted to
John Knowles 's
A Separate Peace in 1961. The foundation was dissolved after 1970.
Mary Lee Settle was one of the founders of the PEN/Faulkner award following the controversy at the 1979
National Book Award , when PEN voted for a boycott on the grounds that the award had become too commercial.
[2]
[3] The award is affiliated with the writers' organization
International PEN .
The award is
one of many PEN awards sponsored by
PEN International affiliates in over
145 PEN centres around the world.
