David Szalay wins the The Plimpton Prize for Fiction 2016

Many congratulations to David Szalay, who has won The Plimpton Prize for Fiction 2016 from The Paris Review for his outstanding contribution to the magazine.  

The Plimpton Prize for Fiction is a $10,000 award given to a new voice from the magazine's last four issues. Named after The Paris Review's longtime editor George Plimpton, it commemorates his zeal for discovering new writers. The prize will be presented to David Szalay by Rachel Kushner at the magazine's Spring Revel, for 'Youth', from issue 213, and 'Lascia Amor e siegui Marte' from issue 215. Both pieces are excerpts from his ingenious new novel, ALL THAT MAN IS, which is forthcoming from Jonathan Cape on 7th April 2016. 

Past recipients of the prize include Emma Cline and Ottessa Moshfegh.
