Experts were stunned today when the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction went to Jeff Stanger for a novel that has yet to be released. “We just know this is going to be a stellar novel,” said Pulitzer officials. “He’s given us all hope that real change has come to the world of fiction. We believe that his next book will move us beyond the tired old world of Grisham, Rowling, and those ridiculous vampire books. The world is ready for novels that expose the plight of the Brooklyn Dodgers Liberation Front. Can we read books about baseball and carnival workers? Yes we can!” 

When reached, Stanger was surprised about the award. “Wow, really? Guess I better get busy and write the thing. I wonder if I could get some help from a ghost writer.”

Carry on, Citizens!
