The Pulitzer Blog: January 2011
http://thepulitzerblog.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Two friends. Eighty four books. One journey. Saturday, January 29, 2011. Entry 29: "The Able McLaughlins" by Margaret Wilson (1924). After a somewhat disappointing foray into the 1990's, I decided I should go back in time and pick up another, what I thought was, pioneer novel. I had so much fun reading The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters. I don't think so. Not in the state of desperation I was in to finally get my hands on it. No, seriously—that's what it says on the back of the book. The ironic thing here,...

The Pulitzer Blog: March 2010
http://thepulitzerblog.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Two friends. Eighty four books. One journey. Thursday, March 25, 2010. Joshua and I woke up this morning, prepared a few last-minute items, packed up the truck and hit the old dusty trail—and by that, I of course mean Interstate 88. The two of us had been looking forward to this trip for a couple months now, ever since we found out about a used-book convention that is held twice per year in Des Moines, Iowa. I turned to Josh and retorted, "Planned Parenthood Book Sale? On another occasion, I was standing...

The Pulitzer Blog: September 2010
http://thepulitzerblog.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Two friends. Eighty four books. One journey. Thursday, September 30, 2010. Entry 15: "House Made of Dawn" by N. Scott Momaday (1969). The same was true for Native Americans this time period. Momaday (being a Kiowa Indian himself and having grown up on a reservation) gives us an intimate account of things that he had probably seen, of people he had probably known, of situations and struggles he had probably encountered on a daily basis. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Of course, the novel that I chose to r...

The Pulitzer Blog: "Goon Squad" Ushers In An Era Of New Perspectives, by Jonathan Bastian
http://thepulitzerblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/goon-squad-ushers-in-era-of-new.html
Two friends. Eighty four books. One journey. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. Goon Squad" Ushers In An Era Of New Perspectives, by Jonathan Bastian. This is a very interesting article I found on NPR about this year's Pulitzer-winner, Jennifer Egan's. A Visit from the Goon Squad. When Jennifer Egan decided to write A Visit From the Goon Squad, winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award, she made rules for herself. Think of Colum McCann's novel Let The Great World Spin, which won th...
