Most of these books are awful, and don’t warrant a second glimpse, let alone an award. “The Catcher in the Rye”? PLEASE. “For Whom the Bell Tolls”? One of the very worst books ever written, I can’t fathom why it should be considered a travesty that a Pulitzer wasn’t awarded to a book that serves no other purpose than to aggrandize Communist totalitarianism and attempt to legitimize their use of firing squads on innocents.

Hemingway may not have been the only nominee, but from the list of eligible books I saw, he was by far the most deserving. And he seems to have lost because of his involvement in the Spanish Civil War. It’s a reminder of how much politics can influence awards decisions.

So interesting… I wonder how Hemingway felt, being the only nominee and still losing. Not sure how that works.
