2011 Mason Award Goes To Stephen King


stephenking.com posted some awesome news:
"Stephen has been selected as the 2011 recipient of the Mason Award from the Fall for the Book Festival at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. He will be presented the award at a ceremony on September 23, 2011 and will be speaking and/or reading for approximately 30-45 minutes." http://www.stephenking.com/index.html

I like the line, "or reading for approximately 30-45 minutes." I hope he does read! Often King brings new work with him. Thus we get glimses of what's to come. and believe me, I can't wait for November -- when King's next book is due out.

Amy Tan (who is a member of the Rock Bottom Remainders... and has written a couple of books on her spare time) is also receiving an award.

The Mason Award recogizes "authors who have made extraordinary contributions to bringing literature to a wide reading public."
