 <\/p>\n

The Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s Spring Revel is coming up on April 7. At the Revel, we present annual prizes for outstanding contributions to the magazine,\u00a0and it is with great pleasure that we announce our honorees for the 2020 Plimpton Prize and the 2020 Southern Prize.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Plimpton Prize is awarded to\u00a0Jonathan Escoffery<\/strong> for his story \u201cUnder the Ackee Tree<\/a>,\u201d from our\u00a0Summer 2019 issue<\/a>. Escoffery\u2019s \u201cUnder the Ackee Tree\u201d follows three generations of a family split between Jamaica and Florida. Escoffery tracks the ways in which fathers and sons misunderstand each other, and the nuanced loss and pain endured by immigrant families, with a keen eye to language and pathos. How do you make things right? As he writes:<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a man who utterly failed his child, you can either lie down to join him in death, or you can do more for those remaining.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Plimpton Prize for Fiction, presented annually since 1993, is a $10,000 award given to a new voice in fiction. Named after our longtime editor George Plimpton, it commemorates The Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s zeal for discovering new writers and celebrates an outstanding story written by an emerging writer published by The Paris Review<\/em> in the previous calendar year.<\/p>\n

Upon hearing the news that he had won the Plimpton Prize for Fiction, Jonathan shared, \u201cI don\u2019t know that you can plan to win a prize, but you can dream about it, and I\u2019ve dreamed of winning the Plimpton Prize for Fiction for a very long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Spring Revel, the Plimpton Prize will be presented by the novelist Alice McDermott<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Southern Prize will be presented to\u00a0Leigh Newman<\/strong>\u00a0for \u201cHowl Palace<\/a>,\u201d from our Fall 2019 issue<\/a>.\u00a0In Newman\u2019s \u201cHowl\u00a0Palace<\/a>,\u201d an Alaskan woman revisits her adventurous past as she prepares to sell her \u201cunique\u201d lakeside home:<\/p>\n

To the families on the lake, my home is a bit of an institution. And not just for the wolf room, which my agent suggested we leave off the list of amenities, as most people wouldn\u2019t understand what we meant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Terry Southern Prize, presented since 2003, is a $5,000 award honoring \u201chumor, wit, and sprezzatura\u201d in work from either\u00a0The Paris Review<\/em>\u00a0or the\u00a0Daily<\/em>. It\u2019s named for\u00a0Terry Southern, a driving force behind the early\u00a0Paris Review<\/em> perhaps best known as a screenwriter behind\u00a0Dr. Strangelove<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Easy Rider<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When she heard she\u2019d won the Southern Prize, Leigh shared, \u201cI\u2019m moved and honored\u2014not just because of the caliber of the authors associated with the Terry Southern Prize, authors I deeply admire\u2014but because working on \u2018Howl Palace\u2019\u00a0with Emily and Hasan, getting to profit from their deeply considered editing, was one of the greatest joys of my writerly life.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Spring Revel, the Southern Prize will be presented by the cartoonist Roz Chast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We look forward to celebrating the honorees and their work at the 2020 Spring Revel\u00a0on April 7<\/a>, at Cipriani 25 Broadway in downtown Manhattan. That night, we will be joined by the 2020 Revel benefit chairs, actor, writer, and director Greta Gerwig<\/strong> and writer and director Noah Baumbach<\/strong>. Singer, songwriter, and musician Bruce Springsteen<\/strong> will present our Hadada Award for lifetime achievement to Richard Ford<\/strong>. Tickets are available on our site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are also proud to mention that The Paris Review<\/em> won the 2020 ASME Award for Fiction<\/a> for our submission of three stories, two of which were 2020 Plimpton Prize honoree Jonathan Escoffery\u2019s \u201cUnder the Ackee Tree\u201d and 2020 Southern Prize honoree Leigh Newman\u2019s \u201cHowl Palace.\u201d Rounding out our winning submission was Kimberly King Parsons\u2019s \u201cFoxes,\u201d from our Summer 2019 issue<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the winners! We hope you will join us to celebrate them, and to usher in a new decade of groundbreaking literature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
