The Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum is thrilled to announce its seventh annual winner of the Fitzgerald Prize for Literary Excellence – retired Navy SEAL and bestselling author Clint Emerson!
The Fitzgerald Prize for Literary Excellence is awarded annually by the Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum to an author whose work continues the legacy of American storytelling while also exemplifying the craft, wit, and social insight typified by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald was a novelist, short story writer, screenwriter, playwright, lyricist, poet, and veteran, and the Fitzgerald Prize recognizes an author’s contribution in one or more of these areas. Mr. Emerson’s wry sense of humor pervades his various books, which stretch across multiple genres, and demonstrates the wit and insight typified by Fitzgerald’s early writing.
An An Evening with Clint Emerson will be held on Sat. Sept 24 at the Davis Theater in Montgomery, Alabama.
Emerson’s latest book, The Rugged Life, is now available here:
