The winners of this year's Pulitzer Prizes were announced this afternoon, in all 21 categories, meaning that there were no surprise non-winners in the fiction category like last year
Today in books and publishing: Malcolm Gladwell takes on the underdog; what really happened with the Pulitzer Prize for fiction this year; Zadie Smith's first book in seven years; Fifty Shades in the air.
Today in books: Buzz Bissinger returns to Odessa, how to fix the Pulitzer voting process, and the 'S--- Girls Say' meme is declared book-deal worthy.
Today in books and publishing: J.K. Rowling isn't done with Harry Potter completely, the jurors for the Pulitzer's fiction prize explain why they're not to blame for the lack of a winner, and what DOJ's settlements with three publishers means for the way you buy e-books in the coming months.
It's perhaps the biggest day in journalism and publishing as the 2012 Pulitzer prizes were announced at 3 p.m. with the Huffington Post picking up its first-ever award for national reporting, and the Associated Press getting one for its series on the NYPD surveilling Muslims.
