Awards
Poet Robin Robertson won the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction for The Long Take.

Intrigue
The New Yorker reported on a mysterious, short-lived literary fellowship underwritten by the Riggio Foundation. Writer Daniel A. Gross was invited in 2018 to participate in a $10,000 fellowship spanning two semesters that would “teach skills and speak truth to power,” but the fellowship proved “strange” and haphazardly organized. It later became clear that Stephanie Riggio Bulger, who ran the program, was participating alongside the fellows without revealing her identity. The fellowship dissolved after one semester, when instructor Jackson Taylor, with whom fellows were required to take classes, repeatedly used racial slurs. Bulger later told Gross in an interview, “It was horribly uncomfortable, and just offensive in every way. It was not what I wanted it to be in any way, shape, or form, which is why it is no longer in existence.”
