The Pulitzers will be announced this afternoon. Since there are two finalists announced with the winner, I’m going to give three predictions for the prize in fiction:
- The Maytrees by Annie Dillard
- Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris
- The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz
I’ll also post a follow-up entry with the winner’s list after they’re announced.
