Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout wins Fiction
Described as " a collection of 13 short stories set in small-town Maine that packs a cumulative emotional wallop, bound together by polished prose and by Olive, the title character, blunt, flawed and fascinating."
Has anyone read this yet? I am ordering it ASAP!
One of the other nominees looks interesting as well. Has anyone read "All Souls" by Christine Schutt?
It's described as "a memorable novel that focuses on the senior class at an exclusive all-girl Manhattan prep school where a beloved student battles a rare cancer, fiercely honest, carefully observed and subtly rendered."

I have a copy of Olive Kitteridge here somewhere in these piles of books, but haven't read it yet. I really should bump it up on the list!
