Twelve years of winners and also-rans from some of the most prestigious English-language literary awards: the Pulitzer Prize, Man Booker Award, National Book Award, Baileys (formerly Orange) Prize, Costa (formerly Whitbread) Book Award, and the PEN/Faulkner Award. The list focuses on single-book fiction and does not include awards, e.g. the Nobel Prize, that honor an author for his/her entire body of work.
