Question

Which of these Nobel Prize-winning authors did NOT win the Pulitzer Prize?

The correct answer is

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction is given to works by American authors, generally dealing with American life.

Ernest Hemingway won the Pulitzer (1953, The Old Man and the Sea) and the Nobel (1954). William Faulkner won the Nobel (1949) and two Pulitzers (1955 and 1963). John Steinbeck won the Pulitzer (1940, The Grapes of Wrath) and the Nobel (1962).

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Colombian author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 but, not being American, never won a Pulitzer.

Hence, the answer is Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
