Kata's Progress -- Newly Read 1930's

(Alas, I had to break my post into two posts because my tags were too long.) Slowly I am making my way through the Pulitzer Prize winners. Two themes keep popping up. The first is that the characters are living in a time of change. The second is that what is near and dear to one generation is often less important or even rejected by the next generation. Below is what I have read from the 1930'a since I posted here in November. My reactions to the books are on my blog.

• 1930 Laughing Boy 
• 1931 Years of Grace 
• 1932 The Good Earth 
• 1933 The Store 
• 1934 Lamb in His Bosom 
• 1938 The Late George Apley
