The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction is one of the seven American Pulitzer Prizes that are annually awarded for Letters, Drama, and Music. It recognizes distinguished fiction by an American author, preferably dealing with American life, published during the preceding calendar year. As the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel, it was one of the original Pulitzers, for the program was inaugurated in 1917 with seven prizes, four of which were awarded that year.[1] (No Novel prize was awarded, so it was inaugurated in 1918, in a sense).[2]
Finalists have been announced from 1980, ordinarily two others beside the winner.[2]
In 31 years under the "Novel" name, the prize was awarded 27 times; in its first 66 years to 2013 under the "Fiction" name, 59 times. No award has been given 11 times, including its first year 1917, and it has never been split.[2] Three writers have won two prizes each: Booth Tarkington, William Faulkner, and John Updike.
Entries from this point on include the finalists listed after the winner for each year.
Three people have won the fiction Pulitzer twice, one nominally for the Novel and two for Fiction.
Ernest Hemingway was selected by the 1941 and 1953 juries, but the former was overturned and no 1941 award was given.[3]
