Pulitzer.org explains that the prize is given “for distinguished fiction published in book form during the year by an American author, preferably dealing with American life.” It is one of seven Pulitzer prizes given annually. The Pulitzer Prize for the Novel, now for Fiction, was one of the inaugural awards when established in 1917.
