The University of Iowa Writer's Workshop administers this award for literary criticism for the Truman Capote Estate.
The Truman Capote Estate announced the establishment of the Truman Capote Literary Trust in 1994. The establishment of the Trust was stipulated in the author's will and the annual award reflects Capote's frequently expressed concern for the health of literary criticism in the English language. The awards are designed to reward and encourage excellence in the field.
See the U of I's Web site for more information on the Truman Capote Award.
