PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction - Wikipedia PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from PEN/Faulkner Award) Jump to navigation Jump to search Literary award Not to be confused with William Faulkner Prize. PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction Awarded for Fiction Sponsored by PEN/Faulkner Foundation Country United States Website penfaulkner.org 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 generosity in using 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 after controversy at the 1979 National Book Award, when PEN voted a boycott on the ground that they were too commercial.[2][3] It 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.
