The Pulitzer Prize for fiction has been awarded to Daniel Kraus, an author known for fantasy, horror, and young adult novels, for his World War I narrative, Angel Down, notably told in a single, continuous sentence. Bess Wohl’s Liberation, exploring 1970s feminist consciousness-raising groups, secured the drama prize.
Kraus, 50, boasts a diverse career, including collaborations with filmmakers George Romero and Guillermo del Toro. The Pulitzer committee lauded Angel Down as "a stylistic tour-de-force that blends such genres as allegory, magical realism, and science fiction into a cohesive whole, told in a single sentence."
