Kansas City’s “Publitzer Prize”
Kansas City librarians used the lack of a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction as an opportunity to create the “Publitzer Prize for Fiction” (the play on the name indicates that the public chooses this prize).
Library Director Crosby Kemper III explains:
The three nominees were announced yesterday. The winner will be announced tomorrow.
Take that, Pulitzer Board!
