Which novel by Annie Proulx won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1994?

The Annie Proulx novel that won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction was The Shipping News.

Published in 1993, the novel follows Quoyle, a troubled newspaper reporter who moves with his daughters to Newfoundland after a series of personal disasters. There he works for a local paper and gradually rebuilds his life while confronting family history, isolation, grief, and the harsh Atlantic landscape. Proulx's sharply observed prose makes the setting an important force in the story.

The book won the Pulitzer in 1994, along with the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. Its title refers to the practical maritime reports published by Quoyle's newspaper, but the novel is much broader than a newsroom story. A common mix-up is Brokeback Mountain, another famous Proulx work: it is a short story first published in 1997, not the Pulitzer-winning novel. The Shipping News was adapted into a 2001 film starring Kevin Spacey and Julianne Moore.
