Powell's Books - Award Winners - The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction In lieu of the driving narrative voice of Straight Man, Empire Falls delves into a large cast of strong characters who will live on in the reader's mind long after the novel proper has ended. Russo's sprawling Pulitzer Prize winner impresses on many levels — it's a large-scale epic that doesn't gloss over its characters' most intimate longings, and Russo does a terrific job of balancing a large, diverse cast — but what astonishes me the most is how quickly it ends; the narrative plunges ahead at a breakneck pace. Ultimately it's heartbreaking and stirring, and the reader will remember Empire Falls as vividly as if they'd personally visited the town itself. www.powells.com /prizes/pulitzer_fiction.html   (543 words)
