Strout's

Last year, Elizabeth Strout's novel, Olive Kitteridge, rose slowly on the list after winning a Pulitzer.

Book Buzz: Higgins Clark team one-twos the best-seller list 2010

I read this book before Oprah and before the Pulitzer Prize, because I am a fan of Strout's earlier work.

Jennie Nash: What's a "Big Book" and Should I Write One? 2010

At times, Strout's jokes and puns tend to pile up on each other, distracting from the story.

Dead To Me Jes Battis 2008

But it's also quite good, and the sillier elements can distract readers from how fascinating and original many of Strout's concepts are.

* You must read C.L. Wilson's Tairen Soul series (book 3 out next month!) * Meljean's Guardians series is great too (but I think you've already read that one) * Anton Strout's Dead to Me was great too

Jennie Nash: What's a "Big Book" and Should I Write One? 2010

My last week's reading is a case in point: I read David Mitchell's Black Swan Green (2006; anyone spoken of it recently?) and am almost finished with Elizabeth Strout's Amy and Isabelle (1998; ok, so this novel became visible again because of breaking news, Strout's Pulizer this year, but that's not why I happened to be reading it).

In some ways, Strout's book is the flip side of Nazarian's.

If you follow Strout's LJ, you know he's an entertaining person, and that comes through in the book.

I explained how Saul and Patsy by Charles Baxter came my way by default as a recommend alongside Elizabeth Strout's Abide With Me and finally I've read it.
