Have to agree.

Gee, another Seattle publication won a Pulitzer this year. Pretty petty of the Stranger not to mention it.

(And yes, the Times story puts Eli's victory in the subhead and mentions it prominently. It was even "Breaking News" on the ST home page.

You stay classy, Stranger.

Karen Russell was a student of mine at Northwestern, and clearly should have won. Despite, not because.

@2: What a killjoy. The Stranger (?!?!?!) won a fucking PULITZER PRIZE and you're butt hurt they didn't take time today to offer the Times a hearty, "Good show, chaps!"

They had more important things to do...like celebrate.

And, get the site back online.

I wish more awards were handled this way. Sometimes there is no Best Picture for the Oscars, IMHO.

I wonder if they'll have the balls to put "The Mirage" on the short-list for 2012. Matt Ruff deserves some major recognition for this book. (Don't know the guy, I just admire his writing.)

I must say I enjoyed seeing the front page of the Seattle Times this morning.

The committee did manage to selet not one, not two, but three entries for the fiction category – and yet the award goes to none of them? Could this be a PR stunt? I've noticed more coverage of the prize this year (and, as a bonus, of the nominees) and actually blog about it at Pulitzer Prize – NOT! where I also link to this post. I'd really be interested to know your thoughts on this theory over in the comments. And of course, huge congrats to Mr. Sanders.
