PEN/Faulkner Prize Winner Announced
26/03/2012
Julie Otsuka’s THE BUDDHA IN THE ATTIC won the PEN/Faulkner Prize today. Ron Charles in the Washington Post warned:
No story in the conventional sense ever develops, and no individuals emerge for more than a paragraph … Though they’re often lovely, harrowing or surprising, these lists will have limited appeal to readers pining for more extended narratives and more emotional investment in individual characters.
