Beagle Named SFWA Grand Master
The Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) have named Peter S. Beagle the 34th recipient of the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award. SFWA president Cat Rambo said, “Beagle’s work has been the gateway for multitudes of fantasy readers, but also writers as well, including myself. His work shines a light on the human heart and its beauties even when that heart is flawed and wanting, showing how that beauty arises from such imperfect conditions.”
The award, given for “lifetime achievement in science fiction and/or fantasy,” will be presented at the SFWA Nebula Conference held May 17-20, 2018 at the Pittsburgh Marriott Center in Pittsburgh PA.
