Via Omnivoracious, the 2010 Pulitzer Prize Winners have been announced.

Fiction: Tinkers, by Paul Harding
History: Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World, by Liaquat Ahamed

I was aware of the eventual History and Biography winners, but Tinkers? Never heard of it. Just reserved it at the library.

Just read the first few pages on amazon of Tinkers. He definitely has a beautiful way with words. I'm gonna check it out as well.
