The PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction is a national prize which honors the best published works of fiction by American citizens in a calendar year. Three judges, chosen annually by the directors of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation, select five books from among the more than 300 works submitted, making this the largest peer-juried award in the country.My quick review of it--short, kind of depressing, sometimes very weird, but I still sort of liked it.

Up next for me is The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields.
