Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Winner for Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Dies at 81

Annie Dillard died Tuesday at home in South Wellfleet, Massachusetts, at 81, literary executor Maggie Nelson confirmed. Dillard published Pilgrim at Tinker Creek when she was 28, which won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction — a top U.S. honor for factual writing. Attention will likely turn to how her wider body of work is taught and remembered.
