I’m very happy to announce that IN THE MOUTH has just been selected to receive the 2008 Edward Lewis Wallant Award for a significant contribution to Jewish literature. I’m especially proud to join a list of winners that includes some of the writers I most respect–Cynthia Ozick, Francine Prose, and Steve Stern among them. The award ceremony will take place on Monday, April 13, 2009, at the University of Hartford’s Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies, which administers the award. The website hasn’t yet been updated (last year’s winner was my Iowa classmate, Ehud Havazelet), but here’s the link:
