Alison Lurie is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
Alison Lurie was an American novelist and Cornell professor whose comic novel of manners Foreign Affairs won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction; she also wrote widely on children's literature and the semiotics of dress. Her father, Harry Lurie, was Jewish and the first director of the National Council of Jewish Federations. Her sharply observed fiction anatomized academic and middle-class life.
