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]

Citatet
Jag tror att vi enbart bör läsa böcker som biter och sticker oss. Om den bok vi läser inte ruskar oss vakna som ett slag mot huvudet, varför då göra sig besväret att läsa den över huvud taget?
Franz Kafka
Lite väl drastiskt men det ligger nåt i det.
