An Evening with Pulitzer Prize Winner Yiyun Li

Internationally acclaimed author Yiyun Li won the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for her resonant memoir, Things in Nature Merely Grow , a deeply moving account of losing her younger son to suicide a little more than six years after her older son died in the same manner. The Princeton University professor is the author of 12 books—and was a finalist for the 2024 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.
