Pulitzer Prizes 2011

The 2011 Pulitzer Prizes [1] were awarded this week and include awards for letters.

Fiction
A Visit from the Goon Squad [2] by Jennifer Egan

History
The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery [3] by Eric Foner

Biography or Autobiography
Washington : A Life [4] by Ron Chernow

Poetry
The Best of It: New and Selected Poems [5] by Kay Ryan

General Nonfiction
The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer [6] by Siddhartha Mukherjee

A Visit from the Goon Squad is sweeping several fiction categories. After making several best-of year end lists, it also won the National Book Critics Circle award for fiction. Maybe its time to move it up on my to-read list!
