Spring Series: A Hundred Years of the Pulitzer Prize: Part One

Let's explore some of the most lauded American books. The Pulitzer Prizes were established just after the First World War, and while our tastes have changed, and the prizes have evolved, do the prize winners stand the test of time? We will read one title from each decade of the 20th and early 21st centuries. This series will conclude in Fall 2024.

May's Book is: 1932 Pulitzer: The Good Earth by Pearl Buck

Travel to 1920s China, a time when the last emperor still ruled and the sweeping changes of the twentieth century were distant rumblings, with this timeless, evocative classic tale of the honest farmer Wang Lung and his family as they struggle to survive in the midst of vast political and social upheavals.
