: Jennifer Egan won the 2011 Pulitzer for fiction for her novel, "A Visit from the Goon Squad."
Her novel was the odds-on favorite because the other two finalists were, shall we be polite and say "ordinary." I bet the Pulitzer committee rejected a dozen great novels to come with those three. Why? Who knows?
