2020 Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography

Cover Image for Sontag: Her Life and Work

Sontag: Her Life and Work

by Benjamin Moser

An authoritatively constructed work told with pathos and grace, that captures the writer’s genius and humanity alongside her addictions, sexual ambiguities and volatile enthusiasms.

 







The Pulitzer Prize has been awarded by Columbia University each spring since 1917. The awards are chosen by a board of jurors for Journalism, Letters, Music and Drama. The awards for Letters include Nonfiction, Poetry, Biography or Autobiography, History, and Fiction.
