DeLillo News & Notes: DeLillo receives the Carl Sandburg Literary Award

On October 17, 2012, both DeLillo and Walter Isaacson (author of Steve Jobs, Einstein: His Life and Universe) received the Carl Sandburg Literary Award (DeLillo for fiction, Isaacson for nonfiction).

According to the article that I read, the Carl Sandburg Literary Award "is presented annually to an acclaimed author in recognition of outstanding contributions to the literary world and honors a significant work or body of work that has enhanced the public's awareness of the written word."

Congratulations to DeLillo!
