Description

Join the Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation for a special literary event celebrating the 2026 honorees. On Saturday, November 7, the Victoria Theatre stage will welcome acclaimed national and international authors whose work illuminates the human experience and demonstrates the power of literature to deepen understanding across differences. The program will open with a panel conversation featuring the 2026 fiction and nonfiction honorees, followed by an intimate 1-1 conversation with Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award recipient Ann Patchett, interviewed by NPR’s Rachel Martin.
