The Pulitzer award for fiction goes to . . .

[Anamnesis]

No one.

This isn't the first time the judges have withheld a prize --it has happened six times since 1948, the most recent in 1977. Among the books published that year was "Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison, and you have to woinder whether the judges would like a do-over for that year.

This year's nominees can be found here.

I don't get it... Why nominate finalists if you don't think they're good enough to get the prize?

No fiction award by Pulitzer Prize judges in 2012 - latimes.com

The three books were fully considered, but in the end, nonemustered the mandatory majority for granting a prize, so no prize was awarded

Sounds to me like a hung jury: they couldn't agree on one being better than the others. Or most of them loved a book that some of them absolutely hated.

 

[Landslide]

Oh, ok. I get it now.

The Pulitzer jury is angry. You wouldn't like it when it's angry.

We’re the people who have gone through the 300 novels. All the board is asked to do is to read three top novels that we’ve given to them.

The Submission sounds good to me.
