Willy Vlautin, a mid-career author from Oregon, has been named a finalist for the 2025 Joyce Carol Oates Prize for his latest novel, The Horse. This prize, awarded since 2017, acknowledges significant writers who have not yet received major accolades. Alongside four other distinguished writers, Vlautin's work has resonated nationally, as evidenced by his previous awards and recognition. The prize not only offers a substantial monetary award but also aims to support writers in their craft and contributions to literature. The winner will be announced in mid-April 2025.
Vlautin remarked that receiving the Oates Prize recognition felt like a 'lucky break' and expressed gratitude for the acknowledgment of his work.
The Joyce Carol Oates Prize honors mid-career writers of national consequence who have published notable works but have yet to receive major awards like the Pulitzer.
