Pulitzer Prize

The Pulitzer Prize (pronounced "PULL-it-sir") is an American award established by Joseph Pulitzer and regarded as the highest national honor in newspaper journalism, literary achievements and musical composition. It is administered by Columbia University in New York City.

Prizes are awarded yearly in twenty-one categories. In twenty of these, each winner receives a certificate and a US$10,000 cash reward. The winner in the public service category of the journalism competition is awarded a gold medal, which always goes to a newspaper, although an individual may be named in the citation. Ironical

Andrew Sean Greer
A stroke. Robert has never been kind to his body . . . It is only the carrier of that wonderful mind, after all. A case for the crown. And Robert has cared for that mind like a tiger with her young: he has given up drinking and drugs, kept a strict schedule of sleep. He is good, he is careful. And to steal that--to steal his mind--burglar Life!Like cutting a Rembrandt from its frame.
Andrew Sean Greer, Less

Anthony Doerr
Did time move forward, through people, or did people move forward through it, like clouds across the sky?
Anthony Doerr, About Grace
