We are pleased to invite all members of the literary community and general public to join for the live announcement of our book awards winners, selected from a list of 55 finalist books featuring outstanding voices in translation, fiction, poetry, science writing, essay, biography, drama, and more. To learn more about our finalists, please read our announcement via The Paris Review ([link removed]) .

In the wake of the struggles of the past year, PEN America is proud to support and uplift the literary voices that have been critical in helping us persevere through these troubling times. The writers we will recognize are revolutionaries, icons, and masters of their craft. We hope you’ll join us for a night of literary celebration, to recognize the necessity of the human stories these writers tell.

The 2021 PEN America Literary Awards Program and Ceremony recognizes the generous signature sponsorship from the JKW Foundation, in memory of Jean Stein and her extraordinary contributions to literature.
