In this week’s SFR, we talk with James McGrath Morris, the Tesuque author whose extensive biography of Joseph Pulitzer, Pulitzer: A Life in Politics, Print and Power is set for release from HarperCollins on Feb. 9. He had a ton more information to share about Pulitzer, the writing of the tome and the nature of biographies in general. In our print edition this week we offer “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Joseph Pulitzer,” and here he offers a few more.
JMM: Pulitzer’s New York World newspaper was published in color—but we don’t know that, because we read it in black and white microfilm. Thanks to Nicholson Baker, he saved a huge set of Worlds and he’s published a book called Sunday at the World. It has color reproductions.
The World was the first newspaper with comics. Newspapers were boring before Pulitzer came along.
More facts and a Q&A with the author below the jump.
