Daniel Alarcón’s story collection, “The King is Always Above the People,” has won the 2018 L.D. and LaVerne Harrell Clark Fiction Prize. The prize of $25,000 is one of the largest literary awards in the United States.
Established at Texas State University in 2016 and administered by the Department of English, the prize is designed to recognize an exceptional, recently-published booklength work of fiction in celebration of the Clarks’ lifelong contributions to, and love for, literature and the arts.
Alarcón will be honored March 26 at Texas State. The award ceremony, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 3:30 p.m. in Flowers Hall, room 230. A reading and signing by Alarcón will follow.
