Annual Bard Fiction Prize Is Awarded to Maya Binyam
Author Maya Binyam has received the Bard Fiction Prize for her first novel, Hangman (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2023). Binyam’s residency at Bard College is for the fall 2025 semester, during which time she will continue her writing, meet informally with students, and give a public reading. The Bard Fiction Prize committee writes: “Maya Binyam’s novel Hangman intrigues from its opening sentence as it builds a mysterious Beckettesque world of dark comic disorientation, never allowing the reader to grow complacent as it explores the essence of belonging and displacement."
