Most of the Pulitzer Prize winning novels I've read so far have pretentious, flowery, trying-too-hard language. After a few chapters, I lose interest and give up.
"So Big" is, happily, an exception. It is a calm, simple, story of a woman who accepts her difficult life, working hard to make life better for her son (who she nicknames "So Big"),while trying to instill in him, an appreciation for beauty in the world. Her son does achieve financial success, but is that enough?
