Matt Fraction Wins 2010 Pen Literary Award For Outstanding Body Of Work

image

A deluge of e-mails informs me that the writer Matt Fraction has been named a winner in the 2010 PEN USA Literary Awards, taking home a special award in "Graphic Literature" for "His Outstanding Body Of Work." Fraction is widely considered one of the best writers working in mainstream at this moment of time, and his projects include a variety of well-regarded series such as Casanova, Invincible Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men and Thor. He is also known for independent press projects such as Last Of The Independents and Five Fists Of Science. I am completely not familiar with literary awards, but this looks like the awards component of a Beverly Hills-headquartered literary advocacy organization. The awards will be presented to Fraction and other winners during a ceremony linked to the group's mid-November festival.
