The Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism is awarded for
literary criticism by the
University of Iowa on behalf of the
Truman Capote Literary Trust . The value of the award is $30,000 (USD), and is said to be the largest annual cash prize for literary criticism in the English language.
[1] The formal name of the prize is the Truman Capote Award for Literary Criticism in Memory of Newton Arvin , commemorating both Capote and his friend
Newton Arvin , who was a distinguished critic and
Smith College professor until he lost his job in 1960 after his
homosexuality was publicly exposed.
