Los Angeles Times Book Prize
Depuis 1980, le Los Angeles Times accorde chaque année des prix littéraires à certains livres. Ces prix « sont actuellement répartis en neuf catégories de titre unique : biographie, actualité, fiction, première fiction (le Art Seidenbaum Award ajouté en 1991), Histoire, mystère / thriller (catégorie ajoutée en 2000), poésie, science et technologie (catégorie ajoutée en 1989), et fiction pour jeunes adultes (catégorie ajoutée en 1998). En outre, le Robert Kirsch Award est décerné chaque année à un auteur vivant ayant un lien conséquent avec l'Ouest américain, dont la contribution aux lettres américaines mérite une reconnaissance particulière »[1]. It is named in honor of Robert Kirsch whose idea became the inspiration for the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes, was the newspaper’s book critic from 1952 until his death in 1980.
Ce programme de prix littéraires a été fondé par Art Seidenbaum, un éditeur du Times Book de 1978 à 1985. Le prix portant son nom a été ajouté un an après sa mort, en 1990. Les travaux sont admissibles au cours de l'année de leur première publication en anglais aux États-Unis, bien que l'anglais n'ait pas nécessairement à être la langue d'origine de l'œuvre. L'auteur de chaque livre récompensé reçoit une citation et 1 000 dollars.
