Thursday (April 8) at 7 p.m. ET (00:00 GMT Friday), PEN America will honor its five 2021 recipients of its Career Achievement Awards during its digital program announcing the winners of the Pen America Literary Awards.
While
Publishing Perspectives readers will recall the 55 books grouped into a long set of shortlists for those US$380,000 literary awards from our article in February, the recipients of this year’s Career Achievement Prize winners have actually been named and can be announced now before Thursday night’s presentation.
