Colson Whitehead became the rare author to receive Pulitzers for consecutive books when his novel about a brutal Florida reform school during the Jim Crow era, The Nickel Boys, was awarded the fiction prize Monday.

Three years ago, he won for his Civil War era novel The Underground Railroad. Pulitzer judges praised The Nickel Boys as "a spare and devastating exploration of abuse" that is "ultimately a powerful tale of human perseverance, dignity and redemption." Whitehead, 50, is known for his experimental narratives and immersion in American history and folklore.

Androgynous Mary with a bizarre video for “Amber’s Knees”

Girl Friday's debut EP Fashion Conman, released last summer, packed a lot into its four tracks. The L.A. based four-piece works as a collective, with all four members taking turns on lead vocals and sharing songwriting duties equally, so even the EP's poppiest song, lead single "Decoration/Currency," felt restless. They also made no attempt to obscure their influences (Hole, Placebo, Sonic Youth), so when the vocals switched up mid-song it felt like a sudden shift in gears. They were polished enough to sign to Hardly Art but still raw enough that they might have been playing in a UCLA dorm.
