- Kort biografi
- Randall Silvis is the multi-genre author of eighteen critically acclaimed novels, two story collections, and a book of creative nonfiction named a best-of-the-year book by the Toronto Globe & Mail. Two more novels are scheduled for publication in 2021 and 2022. Silvis was the first Pennsylvanian to win the prestigious Drue Heinz Literature Prize (1984), and was chosen for that award by author Joyce Carol Oates. His work has been published in over a hundred editions in several languages.
A former contributing writer for the Discovery Channel magazines, Silvis is also a prize-winning playwright and produced screenwriter. His work has appeared on best-of-the-year lists from the New York Times, the Toronto Globe & Mail, SfSite.com, Strand magazine, and the International Association of Crime Writers, and has been hailed as “masterful” not only by the New York Times Book Review but also by Publishers Weekly, Booklist, Mystery Scene magazine, and several other review sources.
Silvis has been nominated twice for Pushcart Prizes for his short fiction, and was a two-time Hammett Prize finalist for literary excellence in the field of crime writing. His many literary awards include two National Endowment for the Arts literature fellowships, a Fulbright Senior Scholar Research Award, six writing fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts for his fiction, drama, and screenwriting, and a Doctor of Letters degree awarded in recognition of “a sustained record of distinguished literary achievement.”
