In giving Vidal the award, the committee said:
"The breadth and depth of Gore Vidal's brilliant work, his courage in speaking out, even at times when free speech has been at risk in our country, and his lifelong commitment to democracy, justice, reason, and common sense make him the ideal recipient of the inaugural PEN/Borders Literary Service Award."
Gore's most famous works includes the novels Creation and Lincoln.
