Anthony Doerr's novel All the Light We Cannot See (Scribner), and Elizabeth Kolbert's nonfiction work The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History (Holt) were among the books awarded 2015 Pulitzer Prizes, April 20 at Columbia University.

Inspired by the "horrors of World War II," Doerr's novel was awarded the 2015 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The Pulitzer jury described All The Light We Cannot See as a novel written in "short elegant chapters that explore human nature and the contradictory power of technology."
