The Pulitzer Prize is less a literature prize and more a prize for the arts, awarding prizes for literature, drama, music, and journalism. As readers, we are of course interested in the literature prizes and as the Pulitzer Prize winners were announced last night, we have those for you now.
The main literature prize this year goes to Richard Powers for his novel, The Overstory, described as “an ingeniously structured narrative that branches and canopies like the trees at the core of the story whose wonder and connectivity echo those of the humans living amongst them.”
Here’s that and the other Pulitzer Prize winners for literature 2019.
