One prize. 100 novels. 108 years. How many of these Pulitzer winners have you actually read?
Every year since 1918, one novel has been named the best work of American fiction published that year — the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. This video scrolls through all 100 winners in chronological order, from the very first award in 1918 up through 2026's Angel Down by Daniel Kraus, each card showing the author, the year, and the title.
Ten years in that century had no award at all — the Pulitzer board simply declined to give one, which happened as recently as 2012 — so those years are skipped rather than padded with a placeholder. 2023 is the one year with two winners side by side, Barbara Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead and Hernán Díaz's Trust.
Lined up back to back, it's less a list and more a century of American taste in fiction, decade by decade — war novels, postwar suburbia, postmodern sprawl, and whatever the last few years have decided matters. A number of the earliest winners, pre-1930, are now in the public domain and free to read at getfreeebooks.com.
Comment how many of the 100 you've actually read.
