The Pulitzer Prizes | What’s New

You’ve probably already heard the news: Jennifer Egan won the Fiction Pulitzer for A Visit From the Goon Squad. I wish I could say that I’ve read this, although I did read the two excerpts that were in The New Yorker. I’ve got it, though. I’ll read it soon.

It’s also interesting who the two other finalists were: Jonathan Dee for The Privileges, and Chang-Rae Lee for The Surrendered. (I’ve got both of those, too. Haven’t read them, either.)

About the author

I am the author of three novels--THE LAST BIRD OF PARADISE, OLIVER'S TRAVELS, and THE SHAMAN OF TURTLE VALLEY--and three story collections--IN AN UNCHARTED COUNTRY, HOUSE OF THE ANCIENTS AND OTHER STORIES, and WHAT THE ZHANG BOYS KNOW, winner of the Library of Virginia Literary Award for Fiction. I am also the co-founder and former editor of Prime Number Magazine and the editor of the award-winning anthology series EVERYWHERE STORIES: SHORT FICTION FROM A SMALL PLANET.
