Gerald Steiner is the owner and founder of the newspaper The City Light. Steiner hired Fallow for the paper and thought that Fallow would write blockbuster stories. Fallow initially fails to fulfill those expectations, and the relationship between Steiner and Fallow falters. However, Steiner welcomes Fallow back into his good graces after Fallow begins writing articles about the hit-and-run that puts Henry into a coma, and Fallow ultimately marries Steiner’s daughter.

Explanation and Analysis:
In the epilogue, an article in The New York Times relays the information that Fallow received a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on Sherman’s case and then married Gerald Steiner’s daughter. In that sense, Fallow is one of the few people who comes out ahead at the end of the book. The novel positions Fallow’s rewards as rather ironic, considering that the reader has been privy to all of the ways that Fallow’s reporting has been subpar and factually inaccurate. Wolfe then satirically awards Fallow a Pulitzer Prize to reinforce the idea that people look to the media, which should Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non.
