As most of you know, the Pulitzer board spit the bit this year and couldn’t pick a fiction winner. Apparently, none of the three finalists got a majority of the votes, and so no prize.

Can we do any better?

Here’s the task: let’s play Pulitzer Board. Vote for one of the three finalist below, and we’ll see who gets the most votes and whether we would have been able to name a winner, using the majority requirement.

Feel free to make a case for (or against) a book in the comments.
