PEN America named Keith O'Brien the winner of the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for his book on Pete Rose.
"Keith O’Brien’s monumental, nuanced biography—Charlie Hustle: The Rise and Fall of Pete Rose, and the Last Glory Days of Baseball—evokes Rose’s headlong rush in a scrupulously reported, relentless narrative that tracks Rose from his working-class Cincinnati childhood, to his rise and reign and ultimate ruin in baseball."
