Bookends: No Pulitzer Prize for fiction writing this year
The 2012 Pulitzer Prize Winners have been announced, but under the category of Fiction it says ‘No award,’ even though there were three finalists: “Train Dreams,” by Denis Johnson, “Swamplandia!” by Karen Russel and “The Pale King,” by David Foster.
The last time no award for Fiction was given was in 1977.
However, Fiction wasn’t the only category without a winner this year. Editorial Writing is also listed as having no award.
