PEN/Nabokov Award

PEN/Nabokov Award

The PEN/Nabokov Award is awarded biannually by the PEN American Center to writers, principally novelists, "whose works evoke to some measure Nabokov's brilliant versatility and commitment to literature as a search for the deepest truth and the highest pleasure— what Nabokov called the 'indescribable tingle of the spine'." [http://www.pen.org//page.php/prmID/1605] The winner is awarded $20,000. The award is financed by the Vladimir Nabokov Foundation, founded by Dmitri Nabokov.
