Annie Dillard, Pulitzer-Winning Author, Dies at 81

Annie Dillard died Tuesday at her home in South Wellfleet, Massachusetts, at age 81, her literary executor Maggie Nelson confirmed. Dillard was the author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, published when she was 28, which won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction. I expect attention to turn to how her wider oeuvre is taught and remembered.
