The Known World wins the Pulitzer

I've blogged before about this awesome novel by Edward P. Jones. I just discovered he won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. If you haven't read it already, I hope this encourages you to check it out. It is well worth your time.

sidenote - I just finished American Woman by Susan Choi last week, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer. It is about a fascinating topic, but I had to skim. There were parts of it I really enjoyed, and parts I obviously didn't. I don't know if I'd recommend it.
