Trust Me: Scott Nadelson/Award Ceremony & Author Discussion

Wednesday, March 12 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us for the award ceremony, author discussion, and reception with 2024 Wallant Award winner, Scott Nadelson, author of Trust Me. 

Wed., March 12, 2025

7 p.m. in UHart’s 1877 Club, Harry Jack Gray Center

About the award: The award was established shortly after the untimely death in December 1962 of Edward Lewis Wallant, gifted author of The Human Season and The Pawnbroker. Dr. Irving and Fran Waltman of West Hartford were prompted to create this memorial because of their admiration for Edward Wallant’s literary ability.

A panel of four critics serves as judges. They seek out a writer whose fiction bears a kinship to the work of Wallant. Among those who have received the award in past years are: Ayelet Tsabari, Rebecca Dinerstein, David Bezmozgis, Kenneth Bonert, Joshua Henkin, Edith Pearlman, Julie Orringer, Sara Houghteling, Eileen Pollack, Ehud Havazelet, Leo Litwak, Chaim Potok, Cynthia Ozick, Curt Leviant, Thane Rosenbaum, Myla Goldberg, Jonathan Rosen, and Nicole Krauss.

Co-sponsored by the Avon Library & Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies
