Add a CommentA profoundly tragic book about a good man: ethical, hard-working, devoted to his family, who discovers too late that living the "right" kind of life is no buffer against great suffering. Although set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Newark riots, Swede Lvov's story could happen to anyone in modern America; that is its power and horror.
Winner 1998 Pulitzer prize.
