Daniel Worden's book, "Masculine Style: The American West and Literary Modernism, has won this year's Thomas Lyon Book Award in Western American Literary and Cultural Studies! Each year, the Western Literature Association honors outstanding, single-authored scholarly books on the literature and culture of the American West.
The chair of the 2012 Lyon award committee called the book a, "lucidly written and cogently argued examination of the construction of masculinity and its deployment in a number of significant western American texts. The field of nominees was rich and representative of the best in recent literary and cultural criticism."
A previous winner of the award is Gary Scharnhorst, so he's in good company. To see other books and authors who share this honor, go to http://www.usu.edu/westlit/thomas-j-lyon-book-award-in-western-american-literary-and-cultural-studies/.
