Title: Pulitzer-Schmulitzer...
Product review: Okay..I have to admit that the only reason I bought this book was because it had been so highly reviewed and of course the Pulitzer didn't hurt either..I thought, hey, I'm hip. I read relevant books and literature. Unfortunately, I really didn't feel this book packed the powerful punch I was hoping for. The characters were caricatures. Not even inventive ones. The twist at the end was okay, but by then I felt a bit cheated.I'll admit, Cunningham's prose was stylish and well designed, but a pretty package is only good if you don't open it. So, buyer beware. I'm a bit too jaded to fall for some romantic notion of running from my life because the world is spinning too fast. This book might well have been a breakthrough had it been written forty years ago. We're all too clever by now to get swept up by lesbians and suicide..Still, any finished book is worth something to somebody...
