These celebrated authors talk about BIO’s Plutarch Award for Biography – the organization’s annual recognition of the year’s best biography, as determined by a committee of five distinguished biographers from nominations by BIO members and publishers. First time biographer and British Ghanaian journalist Yepoka Yeebo took home BIO’s 2024 Plutarch Award for her book, Anansi’s Gold: The Man Who Looted the West, Outfoxed Washington and Swindled the World (Bloomsbury, 2023). The book also was shortlisted for the Mark Lynton History Prize, and it was The New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2023. Carol Sklenicka chaired BIO’s 2024 Plutarch Awards committee, and she is the author of Alice Adams: Portrait of a Writer and Raymond Carver: A Writer’s Life, both published by Scribner. Sklenicka’s Alice Adams was chosen by The New York Times as one of “Nine Books to Watch for in December” of 2019, while the Times Book Review deemed that her Raymond Carver was one of the “Best 10 Books of 2009.” Sklenicka and Yeebo were interviewed by BIO member and podcast producer Jenny Skoog.
