Every year, the Paris Review<\/em> Board of Directors gives awards to recognize remarkable contributions to literature. This year, the directors are celebrating two extraordinary writers and taking special steps to ensure the future of exceptional writing. Read on to learn about the ways we are celebrating this year. <\/p>\n

The Paris Review<\/em> Board of Directors is pleased to announce that N. Scott Momaday<\/a> is the recipient of the 2021 Hadada Award, presented each year to a \u201cdistinguished member of the writing community who has made a strong and unique contribution to literature.\u201d Previous winners include Joan Didion, Philip Roth, and Joy Williams.<\/p>\n

Born Navarro Scott Mammedaty on February 27, 1934, Momaday is a member of the Kiowa tribe. He achieved national recognition when his debut novel, House Made of Dawn<\/em>, won the 1969 Pulitzer Prize. Widely considered a watershed moment for Native American literature, the book\u2019s publication blew open the door for a new generation of writers. In the years since, he has written fiction, poetry, plays, folklore, children\u2019s books, essays, and, most recently, Earth Keeper: Reflections on the American Land <\/em>(2020), a series of meditations on humanity\u2019s relationship with the natural world. He is also an accomplished visual artist and an ardent climate activist. He has been honored with a National Medal of Arts and an Academy of American Poets Prize, and became a founding trustee of the National Museum of the American Indian, part of the Smithsonian Institution.<\/p>\n

Paris Review<\/em> publisher Mona Simpson said:<\/p>\n

The Paris Review<\/em> editorial committee wishes to honor N. Scott Momaday with the 2021 Hadada Award for his long commitment to, in his words, \u201cthe remembered earth.\u201d We respect his originality in all things\u2014he first achieved fame with his novel House Made of Dawn<\/em> and in the decades since has devoted his attention to poetry, playwriting, painting, and teaching literature. With tenured appointments at Stanford and the University of Arizona, he also taught as an adjunct at the Institute for American Indian Arts. \u201cThere is no better blessing than to be believed in,\u201d he writes. Momaday was born and grew up in the American West and remains loyal to this landscape. \u201cOurs is a damaged world,\u201d he writes. \u201cWill I tell my grandchildren, I wonder, of animals they will never see?\u201d At a time when the solutions to the impending climate crisis are calculated and known, and all that\u2019s necessary to save the planet is human commitment, Momaday offers inspiration. \u201cLet me say my heart,\u201d he writes. \u201cGive us one more day and one more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Momaday\u2019s relationship with The Paris Review<\/em> began more than three decades ago, when several<\/a> of his<\/a> poems<\/a> appeared in the Spring 1986 issue. An excerpt<\/a> from Earth Keeper<\/em> was published on the Daily<\/em> this past year, and Momaday\u2019s Writers at Work interview, conducted by the poet Layli Long Soldier, is in progress. When notified about his receival of the Hadada Award, Momaday said: \u201cI am very pleased to receive the Hadada Award for two reasons in particular. First, The Paris Review<\/em> is an excellent literary journal, and it is certainly a singular distinction to be recognized by it. Second, I am told that my friend Peter Matthiessen, a writer I admired and a recipient of the Hadada Award, could imitate the little-known call of the hadada ibis and did so on request. This remarkable facility, and this prestigious award, inspire me to honor Peter\u2019s memory.\u201d<\/p>\n

To celebrate Momaday\u2019s award, a special episode of The Paris Review Podcast <\/em><\/a>featuring an excerpt of his Writers at Work conversation will be released on April 23. From April 19 to April 23, readers will also be invited to stream a special free screening of PBS\u2019s American Masters N. Scott Momaday: Words from a Bear<\/em>, directed by the Kiowa filmmaker Jeffrey Palmer. Register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Plimpton Prize<\/strong><\/p>\n

The winner of the 2021 Plimpton Prize for Fiction is Eloghosa Osunde<\/a>, for her story \u201cGood Boy<\/a>,\u201d which appeared in the Fall 2020 issue. Named for one of The Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s founding editors, George Plimpton, the $10,000 award celebrates an outstanding story published by an emerging writer in the\u00a0magazine\u00a0in the previous calendar year. Past recipients include Ottessa Moshfegh, Yiyun Li, and Jonathan Escoffery.<\/p>\n

Carl Phillips, a member of The Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s Editorial Committee, said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe face of a thing is not the body of it\u201d and \u201ceverything in this life is what? Image,\u201d says Eloghosa Osunde\u2019s speaker in her brilliant story \u201cGood Boy.\u201d Making use of that take on morality, our hero thrives financially by helping people deceive others\u2014from offering artfully curated (i.e., fake) Instagram accounts to selling souvenirs that people can use to \u201cprove\u201d they\u2019ve traveled, though they never in fact left home. A queer man in Nigeria, he\u2019s learned that to lie is to survive, including lying to oneself: \u201cnecessary fictions,\u201d as another character puts it. Osunde\u2019s story speaks in part to the costs and compromises of those fictions; the other part celebrates the joy of finding the chosen families that allow us to be who we are, in the open, and ultimately to have access to the sacred, in the form of love. \u201cAt different times, we were terrified that we wouldn\u2019t find our tribe, we wouldn\u2019t find our people who would see us for us because of what we\u2019d been told to hide \u2026 this love shit is holy.\u201d Indeed, it\u2019s holy, and powerful, and, in Osunde\u2019s hands, transformative. I love this story\u2019s vulnerability and its honest handling of joy\u2014celebrating joy without ignoring the complicated psychology that, for so many of us, getting to joy has required.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Osunde is a Nigerian writer and multidisciplinary\u00a0artist whose writing\u00a0has appeared in Guernica<\/em>, Catapult<\/em>,\u00a0and Berlin Quarterly<\/em>. She is a 2019 Lambda Literary Fellow,\u00a0a 2020 MacDowell Fellow, and the 2021 prose judge of\u00a0Fugue Journal<\/em>\u2019s\u00a0annual writing contest. Her visual art has been exhibited widely and featured in Vogue<\/em>, the New York Times<\/em>, and Paper<\/em> Magazine<\/em>. Osunde also writes a column for The Paris Review Daily<\/em>, Melting Clocks<\/a>, in which she takes apart the surreality of time and the senses. Her first work of fiction, VAGABONDS!<\/em>, is forthcoming from Riverhead in 2022.<\/p>\n

Upon learning that she had won the Plimpton Prize, Osunde said:<\/p>\n

As soon as I knew what the Plimpton Prize was, I wanted it. As soon as that was clear to me, I wrote it down in my journal where I make these things plain without shame, then left it alone. This story was a breakthrough for me, because it was the first to come through after VAGABONDS!<\/em>\u2014my debut work of fiction, which relocated me to a place where imagination meets courage. It means so much to me that a story I wrote from a true place, an empowered place, with a protagonist like the one who powers this story\u2014Nigerian, queer, beautiful, troublesome, stubborn, fearless, flawed, loved, loved, loved\u2014gets to meet many more readers. I hope this opportunity means \u201cGood Boy\u201d will get to continue as it has done since the beginning of its life; that it keeps moving readers to envision new ways to be and belong, whatever that might look like for them. Thank you to the judges for this honor; to Emily and Hasan, the incredible editors who worked with me to shape this story; and to the people who make up my heart, my family, my life, because my imagination is always made larger and richer by their love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In commemoration of this year\u2019s Plimpton Prize, we will present a conversation between Osunde and the artist and writer Akwaeke Emezi, introduced by The Paris Review<\/em>\u2019s managing editor, Hasan Altaf, on our YouTube Channel on April 27 at 6 P.M.<\/small> Click here<\/a> to register for reminders about this event.<\/p>\n

The Southern Prize for Humor<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2021, the Editorial Committee elected to donate the $5,000 usually awarded to the winner of the Terry Southern Prize for Humor to an organization providing financial support to the writing community during a time when funds for the arts are in particularly short supply. The directors are proud to donate the $5,000 to Teachers and Writers Collaborative in New York.<\/p>\n

Teachers and Writers (T&W) is one of the longest-running and most respected organizations to provide arts education to children, by bringing professional writers into public school classrooms during the school day.
