This is the author of Thank You For Smoking, Boomsday, etc., not the professor/author in CA of the same name. :)

For whatever reason, finding the awards that this "award-winning" author has won is not easily Google-able! I'm sure I'm missing some obvious way to search, or some database somewhere that would make this a quick & easy answer... has anyone had to research literary awards & found the trick??

My daughter is researching for a very short college essay assignment, and was puzzled by the lack of info. She asked me to see what my results were - and she's right! Every way I can think to phrase the search just returns little to no info.

Thanks for any help!
Yeah, Wiki was one of the first stops, and not ONE award mentioned! This is just the weirdest thing...
 
Try his wikipedia entry. At worst it will link to his webpage, but if up to date it should give any awards (not that I would give him any!)

Yeah, I found the California poet, too.
See if your library has a set of books called "Something about the Author." They provide brief bios for a large number of authors. Most libraries have this.
