By Elizabeth C. Clarage and Elizabeth A. Brennan

Book Overview

Established in 1917 by publisher Joseph Pulitzer, the Pulitzer Prize is now awarded in 21 categories, including investigative reporting, news photography, drama, poetry, music, and others. It continues to be the most coveted honor in journalism. Yet while many publications have been written on the topic of the Pulitzer Prizes, none has provided basic factual information on all of the winners. This new reference tool profiles each of the more than 1,100 individuals who have received this honor from 1917 through 1998. Entries include the winner's name, year and category for the Pulitzer Prize(s) won, birthdate, family, education, career summary, other awards won, list of selected works, and where to locate additional information. Several entries also include photos of the winner.

Who's Who of Pulitzer Prize Winners is a concise, well-researched and in-depth account of Pulitzer Prize winners from the inception of the awards to the present. The personal profiles are informative and entertaining--never dull.( It's interesting to see how the tastes of the awards committee have changed over the years). The authors have compiled and written a highly commendable book--one that will not lose its patina over time. No more need be said.
