James Eggams and Raven Chacon are among the 2022 Pulitzer Prize winners.
The prestigious Pulitzer Prizes honor achievements in journalism, literature, theater and music. This year’s Pulitzer Prize winners, Associated Press Vice President and Global Foundation Editor Marjorie Miller, were announced at a press conference Monday, hosted by Columbia University. The awards were voted on by a 19-person panel, chaired by Catherine Boe of the New Yorker, Gail Collins of the New York Times and John Daniszewski of the Associated Press.
Eames won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama for “Fat Hamm.” The critically acclaimed play, which will be performing at a public theater this summer, retells the story of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” at a black family barbecue in the South.
Chacon received the Music Award for “Voiceless Mass,” the first composed work on organ and band.
The Pulitzer Prize for Literature went to Joshua Cohen for “Netanyahu,” which tells the story of a Jewish historian who reviews an Israeli scholar’s application to teach at the school where he works. Andrea Elliott won the General Prize for Fiction for her book, The Invisible Child, which examines homelessness in New York through the eyes of a single girl named Dasani.
In addition to the main awards, the Pulitzer Committee gave special mention to Ukrainian journalists, for their reporting during the ongoing Russian invasion of the country.
Among last year’s Pulitzer Prize winners is “P-Valley” playwright and presenter Katori Hall, who won the Drama Award for her comedy “The Hot Wing King.” Novelist Louise Erdrich took home the award for novel for The Night Watchman, while the award for realism went to David Zucchino for “Wilmington’s Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy.”
