Magical Realism
In magical realism, impossible things happen and everyone just shrugs, because the story treats them as perfectly ordinary.
Poetry
Poetry packs meaning into compressed language, and the same poem can mean different things to different readers.
Graphic Novels
A medium that had to win a special Pulitzer Prize just to prove to critics that a comic book could tell a story as seriously as any novel.
Science Fiction
A genre that's repeatedly predicted, and sometimes arguably helped inspire, real technology decades before it actually existed.
Mystery and Detective Fiction
Detective fiction began with Poe's 1841 "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," and the genre's top awards still carry his name.
