I’ve been gradually reading prior Pulitzer winners for fiction and I have to say I haven’t hit a bad one yet. Maybe I’ll try and read this years before it’s several decades old.

I did the same a while ago and completely agree! They're always so good even if it's not necessarily my cup of tea

every once in awhile I'm reading a Pulitzer winner (esp. fiction) and at the beginning I'm thinking "how did this win that year?" and then by the end of the book I think "wow, I've never read anything like this before"

i used to read all booker prize nominations and winners. Those were the only fiction i would read.

I feel like all the oganizations have some of directive now to pick social justice theme books. I have no problem with it but i dont want to read books picked with a specific agenda.
