One reads this truth concerning the events of autumn, each year coinciding with the presentation of The National Book Award.\nAs a grateful nation we present to you the Medal for outstanding achievement, a lifetime of literature enriched by the foundation of an indelible mark. It bears Stephen King's name as recipient of his hard work over the years, humble thanks to his wonderful wife Tabitha for her constant support, and love of the craft that weaves intricate stories into life threatening universes.\nHe recounts a journey through the centuries of separating the gravitas of true art from popular tales, examining the paths taken by masters such as novels Jack Kerouac, Ernest Hemingway, Gabriel García Márquez, and F. Scott Fitzgerald who endeavor to balance both, guiding us in recognizing the inspired creations among the stormy sea of entertainment.\nSaving grace for the preceding move, Stephen personally graces the event with his captivating words, promising those honored will find refuge in the pages they read that evening as he did.\nIn honor of this event, all profits pitched toward ninety percent (90%) of sales from the album Building Bridges shall be remitted to the National Association for Literature.\nFor as King so acclaim, - we owe it to them.
