Which author wrote the autobiography So Big and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction?

• A. Harold Ross
• B. Edna Ferber
• C. F. Scott Fitzgerald
• D. Harper Lee

Answer: (B)

Edna Ferber wrote So Big, a sweeping novel published in 1924 that won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1925. It’s not an autobiography; Ferber crafted a large-scale family saga that explores ambition and the American dream, showcasing her talent for memorable characters and broad thematic scope. The Pulitzer recognition that year highlighted Ferber’s skill in weaving a compelling, long-form narrative about American life. Harold Ross is known as a magazine editor, not the author of So Big. F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote The Great Gatsby, not So Big. Harper Lee wrote To Kill a Mockingbird and won a Pulitzer for that work, not for So Big.
