Tevis Inducted Into Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame
The Carnegie Center for Literacy & Learning inducted science fiction writer Walter Tevis into the Kentucky Writers Hall of Fame during a ceremony held on January 31, 2018 in Lexington KY. The award “was created to recognize Kentucky writers whose work reflects the character and culture of our commonwealth, and to educate Kentuckians about our state’s rich literary heritage.”

We were lucky enough to attend this ceremony. The introduction offered a comprehensive overview of Tevis’s work, concentrating especially on, well, science fiction and billiards. The reading was from his Nebula-nominated novel MOCKINGBIRD. We had the opportunity to meet his children after the ceremony and they were very gratified by the entire experience.
