My reading project is progressing well. I have read about fifteen of the pulitzer winners now, and the flavor of the winners is clear - Americana. Makes sense, since the award is for "distinguished fiction by an American author, preferably dealing with American life."
The works I have read so far cover a wide range of the American experience. From the Civil War and slavery to Greek hermaphrodites. Tales of immigrant families seem to predominate so far.
