A Well Deserved Pulitzer Prize
Back in November, I wrote a brief review of A Day in the Life Of Abed Salama. Reading that post now, I regret that it was so reserved and devoid of genuine praise. True, Nathan Thrall tells a heartbreaking story, and at this point in my life, I am wary of stories like this.
Nevertheless, it was a terrific book. I had trouble putting it down. I was very deeply moved by it. These people are filled with goodness and kindness; I hated to read about their suffering and prayed for the easing of their pain.
On May 6, it was announced that A Day in the Life Of Abed Salama has been awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction. I was deeply gratified to find this out. It is such a deserving selection.
