D'oh! Ex-'Simpsons' Writer Wins $5,000 Prize
NEW YORK (AP) - Larry Doyle, a former TV writer-producer for "The Simpsons," was named the winner Monday of this year's Thurber Prize for American Humor. He was cited for the novel "I Love You, Beth Cooper."
"Clearly Larry Doyle was not the BMOC (Big Man On Campus)," Thurber judge Firoozeh Dumas said in a statement. "Had Larry been cool, he could have never written 'I Love You, Beth Cooper,' a hilarious yet painfully accurate account of high school in all its pimply glory." Doyle will receive $5,000. The two other finalists were Patricia Marx, for the novel "Him Her Him Again The End of Him," and Simon Rich for "Ant Farm," an essay collection. The Thurber Prize, named for author-illustrator James Thurber, was founded in 1996. |
