''Julia Keller'' is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American writer. Keller won the annual Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for her three-part narrative account of the deadly Utica, Illinois tornado outbreak, published by the ''Chicago Tribune'' in April 2004. The jury called it a "gripping, meticulously reconstructed account of a deadly 10-second tornado".〔 The ''Tribune'' has won many Pulitzers but Keller's prize was its first (and remains its only) win for feature writing. Keller was born and raised in West Virginia. She graduated from Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia, and earned a doctoral degree in English Literature from Ohio State University. Her master's thesis was an analysis of the Henry Roth novel, ''Call It Sleep''. Her doctoral dissertation explored multiple biographies of Virginia Woolf (''A poetics of literary biography: The creation of "Virginia Woolf"'', Ohio State, 1996). She has taught at Princeton University, the University of Notre Dame, and the University of Chicago. She was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University 1998–1999, and has served four times as a juror for the Pulitzer Prizes. Her reviews and commentary air on National Public Radio and on ''The Newshour'' (PBS). ==Books== * ''Mr. Gatling's Terrible Marvel: The Gun That Changed Everything and the Misunderstood Genius Who Invented It'' (Viking, 2008) – details the cultural impact of the Gatling gun * ''Back Home'' (Egmont, 2009),named by Booklist as one of the top ten YA debut novels of the year 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julia Keller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
