The PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction
The PEN/Faulkner Award is presented annually for a distinguished work of published fiction by an American author. The PEN/Faulkner Foundation annually appoints noted fiction writers to serve as judges of the peer award. (This award description was taken from NoveList, a database dedicated to helping readers find fiction titles, award winning books, and similar titles and authors.)
