The Antioch Review is pleased to announce Bruce Jay Friedman as the recipient of its 2006 Award for Distinguished Prose. The award is made possible through the gift of the Lloyd family of Atlanta, Georgia in memory of Lynda Lloyd, an Antioch College alum, who died in 1998.
Bruce Jay Friedman grew up in New York City, earned a Bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, and served two years as a United States Air Force officer before beginning his editorial and writing career. In 1955 Friedman published “The Man They Threw Out of Jets,” in the Antioch Review, his second published story. The first had been pulled from the slush pile and published in The New Yorker two years earlier. Friedman’s story “The Convert” appeared in the Review in the summer of 2004, “Neck and Neck” appeared in fall 2005, and most recently “The Reversal” was in the summer 2006 issue.
Friedman’s novels include Stern, A Mother’s Kisses, The Dick, About Harry Towns, and The Current Climate. The Collected Short Fiction of Bruce Jay Friedman brought together his stories, and Even the Rhinos Were Nymphos: Best Nonfiction collected his essays. His nonfiction book, The Lonely Guy’s Book of Life was the basis for Steve Martin’s film The Lonely Guy, and was followed by The Slightly Older Guy. Friedman’s plays include Scuba Duba and Steambath, and his screenplays Stir Crazy and Splash, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. His credits also include writing for television and acting in two Woody Allen films.
