In addition to a citation and award, the prize winners whose work explores matters both personal and political in fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and drama receive an unrestricted grant of $165,000 to support their writing. The award was established in 2013 and is conferred annually to eight authors writing in English anywhere in the world. The mission of the prizes, which are administered by Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, is to call attention to literary achievement and provide writers with the opportunity to focus on their work independent of financial concerns.
Past Princeton recipients are Yiyun Li, professor of creative writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts, and playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a 2006 graduate.

Live theater in California cannot return indoors until each county in question completely cycles out of the color-coded tiers that serve as a blueprint for reopening, the California Department of Health said Friday.
The department released updated guidelines for live performances that go into effect on April 1 and that stipulate no indoor performances will be allowed as long as the county in question sits in the purple, red, orange or yellow tier. Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties will move from the purple tier to the red tier by Monday and will need to see further improvements in COVID-19 case counts and infection rates to progress through orange and yellow.
