Kozol's first non-fiction book, "Death at an Early Age", won the National Book Award in Science, Philosophy and Religion.  Many of his writings since also deal with the pitfalls of public education and have received several honors.  

Kozol has received two Guggenheim Fellowships, is a two-time Rockefeller Foundation fellow, and has picked up fellowships from the Field and Ford Foundations.  He graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in English literature.
