So, the Pulitzer committee chose not to select a Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.
Baffling.
Disturbing.
Insulting.
Here are just a few of the novels from 2011 that I would have been happy to see win:
The Tiger’s Wife
Swamplandia
The Leftovers
The Art of Fielding
11/22/63
The Marriage Plot
State of Wonder
IQ 84.
And that’s just off the top of my head. Really: Book publishing needs a Pulitzer — especially right now!
