Peace Through Words
Three Chicago authors have been named as 2010 Dayton Literary Peace Prize finalists in the nonfiction category: Dave Eggers, for Zeitoun; and Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman for Enough: Why the Worlds Poorest Starve in an Age of Plenty. The award is, according to the website, "the first and only annual U.S. literary award recognizing the power of the written word to promote peace." Started in 2006, it has recognized Chicago writers in the past: the inaugural Dayton Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Studs Terkel.
