Author Patricia Lockwood has been named the recipient of this year’s Gabe Hudson Prize for her novel, "Will There Ever Be Another You." The award, which includes a $10,000 cash prize, recognizes excellence in comic fiction.
The novel is described as a dark comedy set during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockwood, who is also known for her memoir "Priestdaddy" and the novel "No One Is Talking About This," was selected for the honor by a panel of judges.
The Gabe Hudson Prize was established to honor the memory of the late author and editor Gabe Hudson, who died in 2023. The award is intended to celebrate writers who exhibit a unique voice in the genre of humorous or idiosyncratic literature.
