Stacey Levines roman återutges efter nominering som Pulitzer-finalist

Stacey Levine fick veta att hon blivit finalist i kategorin skönlitteratur för Pulitzerpriset 2025 via ett Facebook-inlägg medan hon var på jobbet i Seattle. Hennes roman Mice 1961, som ursprungligen gavs ut på ett litet förlag, har nu återutgivits av Ecco. Utvecklingen innebär en bredare uppmärksamhet för författarens särpräglade stil.

Levine, som har undervisat i kreativt skrivande vid Seattle Central College i femton år, upptäckte nyheten en måndagsmorgon i maj 2025. En vän från Elliott Bay Book Company taggade henne i ett inlägg med en länk till Pulitzers webbplats. Hon beskrev ögonblicket som oväntat och noterade att hon fick reda på det samtidigt som andra författare i Seattle och att hon var tvungen att sjukanmäla sig dagen därpå efter att ha tagit emot mejl från New York Times.
