Congratulations to Dan Charnas for his recent win at the 2023 PEN America Literary Awards. Dilla Time: The Life and Afterlife of J Dilla, the Hip-Hop Producer Who Reinvented Rhythm was praised as ‘a beautiful and daring rendering of a brilliant young man with all too human qualities and frailties, who died tragically young’. Judges say: ‘Charnas has created perhaps the truest tribute to Dilla and his legacy: a work of funky artistic achievement’.

Judge Jessie Burton says, ‘what we wanted was a novel that a reader would want to read and immerse themselves in, even if it was challenging material, like facing the reality of the world heating up. And I think Jessie’s book makes it all uneasily plausible, because she does it very subtly. She’s a brilliant writer, and that’s what elevated it out of just writerly concern for the planet’.
