Episode 22 - 1964: No Prize (again)
from Hearing The Pulitzers Hosted by hearingthepulitzers
In this episode, Andrew and Dave discuss the second time the Pulitzer Board decided not to award a music prize. In fact, in 1964, they did not give awards in the categories of drama, music, and fiction. It was the first time since the Pulitzer Prizes began in 1917 that three separate categories did not have an awardee. To deepen the intrigue, the music board was split, and at least one member wanted to give a music award (and wasn't happy with the other members). We discuss all the drama! What happened in 1964 and what were the ramifications on later music winners?
