Thanks! I had no idea that the Orphan Masters Son won a Pulitzer. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews about it.

Gilead set in Iowa and Beloved

The Orphan Master's Son, Adam Johnson. Pulitzer Prize winner for literature 2013. Technically superb. Great complex story. Setting very interesting and timely in terms of US diplomacy challenges today...how much do we know about daily life in N Korea? Johnson has done volumes of research from the testimony of dissidents and defectors. There is validity in what he writes about a very repressive country.

The Sympathizer set in Vietnam
