Pulitzer Prize Winner Speaks at Chautauqua

Pulitzer Prize winning author Anthony Doerr (All the Light We Cannot See)spoke today at Chautauqua Institution. He is a wonderful speaker and a gracious book-signer.

As for my review of the book ...

All books are meant to be read. Some are meant to be savored. "All the Light We Cannot See" is one of those rare books that I didn't want to rush through, although I loved the main characters and wanted to find out what happened to them. I wanted to enjoy every phrase, every metaphor, every brilliant description. This book is a masterpiece in the way it's written and researched, and also for putting the reader directly into the action, whether it be in occupied France, a German orphan's home, a museum in Paris or a training school for Hitler Youth.
