Jacob Congrats on the Pulitzer, Anthony! You and Marilynne Robinson can start an exclusive club now.


Anthony Thanks for the kind words, Anne.
And thanks for the friendship here, David. I've only published one novel--About Grace, so if you want long-form narrative, that's your best bet. Both The Shell Collector and Memory Wall are collections of short stories. And Four Seasons in Rome is a memoir about living in Rome for a year with newborn twins. More about info about each book is here: http://www.anthonydoerr.com/books/
Thanks much for being a reader!
Yours, Anthony

Anne Sumner In regard to David's post: My two favorite books of Anthony's are: The Shell Collectors, and The Memory Wall.
These are two of the best books that I have EVER had the privilege to read.
I highly recommend both!
Anne
