Jean Strouse Selected as First Recipient of BIO Award Jean Strouse, biographer and Director of the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at The New York Public Library, is the recipient of the first BIO Award, to be given each year by members of Biographers International Organization (BIO) to a colleague who has made a major contribution to the advancement of the art and craft of real life depiction. “Strouse’s astonishing, masterful, and inspiring work on Alice James and J. Pierpont Morgan has made her a biographer’s biographer,” said Debby Applegate, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer who is serving as BIO’s interim president. “As the first recipient of this award, she is setting a high standard for future honorees.” Strouse, a native of California, has been a book critic, a prolific writer of magazine articles, and the recipient of fellowships from several foundations, including the MacArthur and John Simon Guggenheim Memorial foundations. Her Alice James: A Biography won the Bancroft Prize in 1980 and her second life study, Morgan: American Financier, won acclaim for its realistic portrayal of the man and its lucid explanation of his financial work |
