Stephen Colbert just snagged an “anti-censorship” award from the Before Columbus Foundation — the same group that honors literary diversity — for his fearless, truth-telling TV career, even as CBS quietly pulled his show last year. The foundation also celebrated a James Baldwin biography, a searing religious critique, and a powerful poetry collection, while honoring novelist Karen Tei Yamashita with a lifetime achievement award. Colbert shares the honor with Florida’s Books & Books founder Mitchell Kaplan, and the awards also spotlighted top editors and publishers. The American Book Awards aim to spotlight America’s rich, varied literary voices — not by forcing it, but by letting excellence shine.
