Fall Series: A Hundred Years of the Pulitzer Prize: Part Two

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.

March's book is: 2000 Pulitzer Prize: Empire Falls by Richard Russo

Welcome to Empire Falls, a blue-collar town full of abandoned mills whose citizens surround themselves with the comforts and feuds provided by lifelong friends and neighbors and who find humor and hope in the most unlikely places.
