Their understanding was that Gaddis wouldn't publish the book until Kennan died. Kennan lived to be 101. Not sure I could have waited that long if I were Gaddis.<br /><br />Also, Marable's Malcolm X biography apparently got moved by the Pulitzer Board from Biography to History. It's not clear if that move was at the recommendation of the Biography and/or History juries, or if it was an executive decision by the Board. May have been some interesting politicking there.Professor Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-760016033807285652012-04-16T16:48:08.934-04:002012-04-16T16:48:08.934-04:00Eli Sander's piece is incredible: give yoursel...Eli Sander's piece is incredible: give yourself a quiet room and some time to read it. http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/the-bravest-woman-in-seattle/Content?oid=8640991scottrunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-28805495160329713272012-04-16T16:40:54.299-04:002012-04-16T16:40:54.299-04:00Interesting note: The Feature Writing award went t...Interesting note: The Feature Writing award went to the author of a piece in Seattle about an attack/murder where one woman was killed while her partner escaped and testified at the attacker's trial.
