The 14th Annual F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Conference will honor Dominican-American poet, novelist and essayist Julia Alvarez later this year.
As well as her successful and acclaimed novels including How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and In the Time of the Butterflies, Julia Alvarez's poetry and prose have been widely praised and published. Her most recent book Once Upon a Quinceanera: Coming of Age in the USA was described by the Washington Post as a "fascinating, exhaustively researched book about the celebration of a girl's coming of age."
Every year since 1996, the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Conference and its award have honored the achievements of a great American author. Past award winners include John Updike (2002), Joyce Carol Oates (1998) and Norman Mailer (2000).
