Winning the Pulitzer Prize, it's not hard to see why...amazing narrative voice, very spare. If you read this in conjunction with Russell Russo's Empire Falls, you'll get two Pulitzer Prize winning novels, both about small towns, both amazing examples of narrative voice and characters-- and both so very different. Recommended!
