The 2009 Pulitzer Prize for fiction went to a collection of stories set in a small coastal town in Maine. Olive Kittredge is the book’s title and the name of the character who binds together its thirteen narratives. Author Elizabeth Strout describes Olive as “ferocious and complicated and kindly and sometimes cruel. In essence … a little bit of each of us.” Today the book has gained renewed attention with a recent HBO miniseries adaptation, starring Frances McDormand. For this Readers’ Review: we listen back to our discussion of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Olive Kitteridge.
