An overwhelming book, so good it makes me jealous. This may be the first Pulitzer prize winning book I have ever read that really impressed me and moved me. If only she had used a few more complete sentences. Just kidding, but she does have a style that relies heavily on sentence fragments. It fits the main character, since he is a newpaperman, but it takes a little getting used to.
update: After reading Accordian Crimes, I can see the Proulx used the incomplete sentences as a literary device, since she didn't do it in her other novel.
