One of the nation’s leading literary prizes, The Mark Twain American Voice in Literature Award honors an exemplary work of fiction from the previous calendar year that speaks with an “American Voice” about American experiences, much like Twain’s masterwork, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Join us on Friday, November 1, for our celebration to recognize a modern voice that’s defining our current America. The award will be presented by the prize’s benefactor, bestselling author and trustee of The Mark Twain House & Museum, David Baldacci, with excerpts of the winning book Absolution read by the author, Alice McDermott.
