This award is no longer conferred.
In 2006,
PEN American Center presented the final PEN/Martha
Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir for a first published memoir,
distinguished by qualities of literary and stylistic excellence. The $1,000
prize was the second award made possible by a bequest from the late PEN member
and mystery writer Martha Albrand, who wished to call attention to first works
in various genres, and complemented the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First
Nonfiction.
Past winners: Jeffery Smith, Peter Balakian, Ted Solotaroff, C. K. Williams, Paula Fox, Nick Flynn, and Gregory Rabassa |
