Experimental war novel wins Pulitzer with unique writing style as Bess Wohl takes drama prize

Pulitzer Prizes - (Copyright 2019 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

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."
