: Of the three finalists for the 2011 fiction Pulitzer, Jennifer Egan's novel was the best by far. �The Privileges,� by Jonathan Dee is so-so, but I'm not even sure why �The Surrendered,� by Chang-rae Lee was even nominated. Is that the best they could come up?
Can you say "politically correct"? The Pulitzer often goes to the author who "deserves to win" even if it's not the best book.
