We are thrilled to announce the 2026 Kenyon Review Award for Literary Achievement will be presented to George Saunders. This award honors careers of extraordinary literary achievement, recognizing individuals whose influence and importance have shaped the American literary landscape.

The Award will be given at our annual Gala on Friday, November 6, 2026 in The Mandarin Oriental in New York City at 6:30 p.m. Proceeds from this gala support vital programming throughout the year, including scholarships for writers to attend The Kenyon Review’s celebrated residential and online workshops.

George Saunders is the author of thirteen books, including the novel Lincoln in the Bardo, which won the Man Booker Prize, and five collections of stories, including Tenth of December, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, and the recent collection Liberation Day (selected by former President Obama as one of his ten favorite books of 2022). Three of Saunders’s books—Pastoralia, Tenth of December, and Lincoln in the Bardo—were chosen for The New York Times’s list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. Saunders hosts the popular Story Club on Substack, which grew out of his book on the Russian short story, “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain.” In 2013, he was named one of the world’s 100 Most Influential People by Time. He teaches in the creative writing program at Syracuse University.
