And don’t forget: non-journalism Pulitzers.
– For fiction, Tinkers (Paul Harding)
– For drama, Next to Normal (music by Tom Kitt, book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey)
– For history, Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World (Liaquat Ahamed)
– For biography, The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt (T.J. Stiles)
– For poetry, Versed (Rae Armantrout)
– For general nonfiction, The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and Its Dangerous Legacy (David E. Hoffman)
