2006 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction ... Geraldine BROOKS

CONGRATULATIONS to Australian novelist and journalist Geraldine Brooks for being awarded the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her second novel, March (2005). By taking the largely absent father, Mr. March, from Louisa May Alcott’s beloved Civil War classic, Little Women (1868), and putting him in a novel of his own, Brooks has crafted one of the year’s best historical fiction.

Claudia Emerson was awarded the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for her collection, Late Wife (2005).
