Did you know Penguin Random House is home to 139 Pulitzer Prize recipients? This year, we're so very happy to honor two authors for their 2024 Pulitzer wins: Cristina Rivera Garza and Jayne Anne Phillips! Garza is the author behind the 2024 Memoir or Autobiography Pulitzer winner, Liliana's Invincible Summer: A Sister's Search for Justice, "a genre-bending account of the author’s 20-year-old sister, murdered by a former boyfriend, that mixes memoir, feminist investigative journalism and poetic biography stitched together with a determination born of loss." (Pulitzer citation) Phillips is the recipient of the Fiction Pulitzer for her novel Night Watch, “a beautifully rendered novel set in West Virginia’s Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in the aftermath of the Civil War where a severely wounded Union veteran, a 12-year-old girl and her mother, long abused by a Confederate soldier, struggle to heal.” (Pulitzer citation) We are immensely proud of the titles and their deserving authors, and we'd like to extend a happy congratulations to their editors! The dedicated and inimitable work of our editors and each publishing team make these wins possible. #PulitzerPrize #publishing
