Celebrating the Art of Fiction

The dining room at the New York Racquet and Tennis Club was filled to overflowing on Monday night, December 6, as a stellar gathering of literary and publishing luminaries celebrated the art of fiction at The Center for Fiction’s 2010 Benefit and Awards Dinner. The Center is the only non-profit literary organization in the United States devoted entirely to fiction. (www.centerforfiction.org)

The evening’s emcee was Nora Ephron and its Honorary Co-Chairs were New Yorker editor David Remnick and Toni Morrison. Author Richard Ford presented the Maxwell E Perkins Award to Award to literary agent Amanda Urban of International Creative Management, Inc. (ICM) and John Pipkin, the 2009 First Novel Prize winner, presented the 2010 Flaherty- Dunnan First Novel Prize to Karl Marlantes for Matterhorn.   

The mission of the center is to encourage people to read and value fiction and to support and celebrate its creation and enjoyment.  With all its resources, including an exceptional book collection, beautiful reading room, and ever-growing array of creative programs, the Center seeks to serve the reading public, to build a larger audience for fiction, and to create a place where readers and writers can share their passion for literature.
