Pulitzer Prize Book Club: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, Night Watch by Jayne Anne Philips, and Wednesday’s Child: Stories by Yinyun Li

Course Description: The Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, which recognizes distinguished work by an American author, is arguably the most prestigious award an American novelist might win. Among the Pulitzer Prize Winners are some of the best authors our nation has produced, including Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, and Toni Morrison. In terms of their artistic merit and what they reveal about the human condition, Pulitzer-winning novels have so much to teach us. Together we’ll read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, the 2023 winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips, the 2024 winner of the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, and Wednesday’s Child: Stories by Yinyun Li, a finalist for the 2024 prize. We’ll meet once a month for a guided discussion about each book. We’ll examine each book in terms of its artistic achievement and what it reveals to us about what it is to be human.
