Description: In Tayari Jones' acceptance speech for this year’s Aspen Words Literary Prize, she said , " So many of us who want to write, and engage the issues of the day, we’re encouraged not to. We’re told that’s not what real art does. An award like this, I think it encourages all of us to keep following the strength of our convictions." Her novel "An American Marriage" touches on an unjust criminal justice system, racism, marriage and intergenerational relationships.
