    Colson Whitehead Wins the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction

    by Emily Temple Apr 10, 2017 0 minutes

    The 2017 Pulitzer Prizes were announced today by Pulitzer Prize Administrator Mike Pride in the World Room at Columbia University. The announcement began with a sly dig at the Oscars: “Just making sure I have the right envelope,” Pride deadpanned. On the subject of nonfiction, he said: “The work that wins Pulitzer prizes reminds us that we are not in a period of decline in journalism; rather we are in the midst of a revolution.” Then he went on to announce the 2017 winners in 21 categories. The winners in Arts & Letters are below:

    The Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead (Fiction)

    Sweat, Lynn Nottage (Drama)

    Blood in the Water: the Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy, Heather Ann Thompson (History)

    The Return, Hisham Matar (Biography or Autobiography)

    Olio, Tyehimba Jess (Poetry)

    Evicted, Matthew Desmond (General Nonfiction)
