Roth, whose most recent novel is “Everyman,” won the $20,000 biennial prize given to “a living author whose body of work, either written in or translated into English, represents achievement in a variety of literary genres and is of enduring originality and consummate craftsmanship.” The PEN American Center works to advance literature, defend free expression and foster international literary fellowship.
