BLF 2012 author Mara Hvistendahl was named a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-fiction for her book Unnatural Selection. Listen to the podcast of Hvistendahl’s BLF 2012 talk at BLF 2012 here.
The 2012 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-fiction was “awarded to “The Swerve: How the World Became Modern,” by Stephen Greenblatt (W.W. Norton and Company), a provocative book arguing that an obscure work of philosophy, discovered nearly 600 years ago, changed the course of history by anticipating the science and sensibilities of today.”
