"NEW YORK - The 2003 Pulitzer Prize for biography was awarded Monday to Robert A. Caro for "Master of the Senate," the third volume of his biography of Lyndon Johnson.
It was the second Pulitzer captured by Caro, who won in 1975 for his acclaimed biography "The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York."
"Master of the Senate" won the National Book Award in November. The third of four planned volumes, it deals with Johnson's rise from his election to national office in the late 1940s to his ascension as Senate majority leader in 1954.

The prize for fiction went to "Middlesex," by Jeffrey Eugenides, a Detroit native now living in Berlin with his wife and daughter. His first novel, "The Virgin Suicides," was an international best seller. "
