Title: Quite a Disappointing Award Winner
Product review: I expected more brilliance from a Pulitzer prize winner. Although I found the structure of the novel well-crafted, little else impressed me: the prose was flat, totally without poetry or lyricism, and the characters, shallow. They needed to possess "humanity, humour, depth," as Woolf suggests in the diary entry quoted in novel's prelude. She says that structure alone isn't enough. Since he included that quote in his book, Cunningham, surely, understood that, too. He just couldn't pull it off. For its structure alone, I would recommend it to most readers; however, I can't believe it won the Pulitzer prize.It's not that good.
