The 2019 Pulitzer Prize Winner in Fiction for ‘distinguished fiction published in book form’ has been won by Richard Powers for his twelfth novel, The Overstory. He received an award of $15,000. The book was described as ‘An ingeniously structured narrative that branches and canopies like the trees at the core of the story whose wonder and connectivity echo those of the humans living amongst them.’
