Joe Murphy on the Pulitzers
Hi Everyone-
Hope all is well and you're enjoying your Spring. I went out to the Eastern Shore to visit my parents (and the rest of my family). It was a nice, restful visit, and I finished reading a galley of a terrific novel: Water for Elephants, a suprisingly gripping travelling circus (I'm serious!) story. I'll tell you more about that as the publication date (June) approaches.
In the meantime, I just wanted to mention the fact that the Pulitzer Prizes were awarded this week. Longtime Olsson's favorite Geraldine Brooks won the fiction prize for her novel March. And here's some good news: March is now available in paperback from Penguin, and therefore available as part of our April of the Penguins buy two-get one free program. So pick up March and another Penguin, Plume, or Riverhead book and get a third free. We still have stock for now, and we have a large back-up order in with the publisher, which is due in stores by April 26th. Our Penguin sale goes through May 4th, so in any event, you can still by the new Pulitzer Prize winner and take advantage of the sale! Some stock updates on other Pulitzer winners: 
American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin, the masterful portrait of Robert Oppenheimer (and former Buyer's Choice in hardback!) is now available and in stock in paperback. Caroline Elkin's Imperial Reckoning, a thoughful and troubling study of the British occupation of Kenya (also a former Buyer's Choice), the winner for general fiction, is also now available and in stock; we're waiting on a reprint of the history winner Polio by David Oshinsky (the paperback is also due this summer) and the poetry winner Late Wife by Claudia Emerson.
Stop by our stores soon and pick up these worthy winners. And don't forget the April of the Penguins!
Talk to you soon,
