The Graphic Novel Feeding Ghosts Won the Pulitzer Prize, But for Some Reason It’s Gotten Little Reaction

A powerful graphic memoir wins a Pulitzer for exploring generational trauma. As the second graphic novel to take home this prestigious award after *Maus*, it chronicles the emotional journey of a family across three generations affected by the 1949 Communist Revolution in China. The author, inspired by her grandmother's struggles, created this deeply personal graphic novel as an outlet from her own trauma and fear, though its impact may be shaped by its isolated nature in journalism.
