Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Annie Dillard, whose profound reflections on nature, faith, and existence reshaped American literature, has died at 81. Best known for her Pulitzer-winning masterpiece “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek,” she also penned novels, poetry, and even called her journalism “jolly.” A National Humanities Medal recipient and former Wesleyan professor, Dillard’s curious, nonconformist spirit—from her Pittsburgh childhood to her literary legacy—left an enduring mark on the world of letters.
