@EdParks Bill Leone is someone I frequently buy from and is certainly on the list of dealers that I look for. We were wanting a trade publisher, but hit the market at the wrong time (2005-2007) as publishing was at it's most difficult (that's my story and I'm sticking with it). I'm anxious to finish UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. I much prefer librarians. Mind blowing! I found Whitehead’s prose unremarkable so I didn’t run out and buy The Underground Railroad. @EdParks I was actually able to meet Robert Olen Butler at a free event held in my hometown. America! I have been reading my galley of THE SPORT OF KINGS quite slowly, but I am enjoying it immensely. The plot of NEWS was hatched out of a character who made a brief appearance in Jiles' THE COLOR OF LIGHTENING (and the main character from that book makes a short appearance in NEWS), so I'm going to read COLOR soon. About. This may even be the year of the "big book" as I have read several. It's even better than Round House due to the strong link she creates with the title. The Wilderness by Samantha Harvey (excerpt) From: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/01/arts/waitress-is-one-of-many-new-writers-with-big-book-deals.html?_r=0. @EdParks @ey814 Murakami is going to win a Nobel one year, though Adunis' poetic language and the time that we are living in right now makes him a strong contender. Close enough to get the action, but no need for my head to roll when the game is on the line or a disgruntled judge spills the beans on the entire process.

Of course, it was released early and in large numbers because of the anticipated hype and the Oprah selection. It is a first-rate, terrific debut novel, but more about that at another time. One starts to question the purpose of, or length of, a scene and wonder why that wasn't edited from the manuscript. I'm sure this is an economics issue and, of course, even in the U.S., trade paperbacks are becoming more common as the first release. Either the judges are semi-literate or some kind of fix is in and I don’t think the judges are (always) semi-literate. You can also find the finalists — whose names were not released until Monday — right here. Sy Montgomery’s The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness is unconventional science reportage that recounts the author’s friendship with an octopus and documents the emotional lives of the species as well. This is likely due to scarcity (they are in fact more scarce than the indisputable firsts). @BRAKiasaurus @Scott S I loved John Henry Days. @AlexKerner Yeah, looking forward to this one. Did anyone else notice this? In the end the journey isn't just about Cora's escape but about what America is, what it looks like when we look outside through the window of the moving train.Also, I don't necessarily think it's fair to compare Whitehead's writing to Grisham et al. An author I failed to mention above is a relative unknown by the name of Dominic Smith. Still, I would like to feel confident that my favorite books were read and duly considered, but I don't. It's another big advance debut, so skepticism is warranted, but Amazons has blurbs from Jennifer Egan and Richard Ford.
@BRAKiasaurus Sweetbitter definitely got buzz. this commenter's premise. The blatant racism of the Forge men seemed undifferentiated from one generation to the next and felt the same, whereas I think the profile of racism has changed dramatically from the Jim Crow era to today.

Surely you’re aware that definition excludes things like white privilege and the belittling hostilities said privilege engenders–a germane example being the assumption by Cecil (and yourself) that a book by a black man is probably unworthy of a Pulitzer because liberals and stuff (it was pretty clear by Cecil’s comment that he hadn’t read it, hence the response).

@jfieds2 @EdParks @OneMoreBook I, too, am off last year's pace by six books. Another Pulitzer variant is the first edition, first printing of Junot Diaz's WONDERFUL LIFE OF OSCAR WAO, which has two variants, one with a black and white end band, one with a red and white end band. @ey814 @jfieds2 @BRAKiasaurus i just heard her interviewed on the Lit Up podcast and she was great. @AlexKerner @EdParks I am predominately a fiction reader. @ey814 another point; you're a great writer so you should take a crack at the bat too. @OneMoreBook In case you haven't previously viewed this book trailer, I thought I would reference it for you. I just can’t get on the collectivist bandwagon.

MISS JANE is very similar in tone and, like STONER, covers the quiet arc of one's life. @ey814 Sorry to say you still might lose, even at $12.00. Disqus has failed to send me the required verification email to complete the sign up. Historian Heather Ann Thompson draws from more than a decade of extensive research to create the first definitive history of the infamous 1971 Attica prison uprising. “Swog, I don’t see a lot of evidence for “white privilege” or “rape culture””. I've seen him at book fairs three times, and managed to get him to sign the Proof and 1st Edition of each of the books in the Lonesome Dove series. I am reading it now and it occurred to me, as a consequence of the discussion prompted by the Daily Beast article by Tom LeClair, that older writers don't appear to receive just consideration during the awards season. Overall, it’s fair to say that this year’s list more accurately reflects the diversity of nonfiction as a genre and points toward innovations that promise to invigorate it. I think the only people not surprised by Snow Child being a finalist were the jury members and the Pulitzer board members :-). And I think that a “Conservative” doesn’t merely prefer the “good olde days” because “the good olde days” are old: they prefer “the good olde days” because they (or people like them) ruled, unopposed, back then, and they would very much like to continue to do so. If anyone is looking for a copy, I believe Erdrich's store (Birchbark Books) in Minneapolis still has signed copies. Went out and got a copy today. Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhood—where even greater pain awaits. @proseimprint I'm okay with THE SPORT OF KINGS winning, although I had a few issues with the novel. I suspect that most Pulitzer collectors are like me... they also collect NBA, NBCC, and, to probably a lesser degree, PEN/Faulkner books. Thom Jones had a difficult life, but managed to publish three truly first-rate story collections. There have been 11 years during which no title received the award. @ey814 @stealth80 @owlettewise This conversation is so interesting to me. Cousin Whitehead wins NBA for The Underground Railroad. Of everything I've read in 2016, I haven't come across anything more like a Pulitzer finalist than this one. @owlettewise @ey814 @ejcrowe42 @stealth80 Yes, you're probably exactly right.

pulitzer prize fiction 2017


Whatever Bly Manor’s ghosts are trying to accomplish, they have at least two accomplices inside the house. Disney Wants You to Take a Ride On Their Upcoming, Aaaaand the Second Presidential Debate Has Been Canceled.

I haven't read either of his books, but I'm curious about both.

And now I've finally read it. And, secondly because of the autobiographical nature of the book I became obsessed with trying to determine what is based on fact and what is total fiction. Matters do not go as planned—Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. I found his volume on the fiction awards on a used-book seller and it was very interesting. Yes, probably. Mystery, beauracratic hypocrisy, and the Canadian Military Diplomatic fuck up in Rwanda. Very excited about Peacock Palace. Have you read Bleeding Edge, yet…? @BRAKiasaurus @EdParks Perplexed I am by the books that are getting all the accolades this year. Unfortunately, Ron Rash is not on that list of authors who are automatically placed at the head of the line when award season comes around, although he should be. In “On Compliance, Complicity and Beating Up Asian Americans,” Eng-Beng Lim muses on the positive side of obliviousness: But “getting woke” may depend on your level of subscription in the club of denial and complicity. Dystopian novels also haven't fared that well with the Pulitzer.

Indiespensable is the most different since they include extras. If so, bless you. I enjoy the involvement of this post. I tended to buy books for the clearance price that I knew were collectible and might be a book I could get signed later. 7@EdParks @AlexKerner agree..... along with Railroad, small bombs & Brooklyn, I'd have liked to see imagine me gone and miss jane.

Swimming Home by Deborah Levy (excerpt, review) That last (Jim Crow) absurdity is a belief quite common to Left/Right/Black/White alike. I say that without meaning to diss Bob Dylan. It is pretty excellent, although being super impressed with debuts isn't that surprising I find...Clegg and Hulse would have been finalists for me last go round. From the Americans who were in the odds list, I would have selected Roth or Oates over Dylan. @jfieds2 @AlexKerner My "evaluation: of the TOB's utility for predicting the Pulitzer from last year's thread: @AlexKerner Thanks much for the TofB link. Not worth 2 million, in any case. I need to get to ALMANAC, stat, it sounds like. Her follow up is a much bigger (560pp) "epic," which also take place in her home state of Kentucky. Last year was specially prominent in gay writers and big awards. Very cool.
