Six more months and it will be available in the public domain. Google Play has a Pulitzer series up through Laughing Boy (the first 12 novels), where you should be able to get the ebook.
Well yeah, that’s technically true, but they’re certainly analog in spirit — they’re a physical object with music rather than being streamed from/on a device.
Thanks for the background material on Barnes: helps round out the reading and I look forward to Years of Grace. Agree that Atkinson’s book is a great book, but I don’t think you have to be a armchair WW2 historian to enjoy :). One thing that stuck with me was Atkinson’s description of the US Army coming of age by learning to hate, a very visceral but necessary step in order to win the war. How it is able to overcome inexperience and outright incompetence is a compelling tale even for the uninitiated WW2 reader.
Oh he actually very much is - I just have a hard time recommending his work to other people. I’m so glad to have read IJ, but l also kinda hate what he did to me at the end haha.
So bummed this book is not on Kindle. I don't have an address or the room for any more physical books on my boat.

Thank you!
I hate to break it to you but CDs are digital, not analog.

Grateful for the mention and happy to hear you found my article fascinating (even if DFW isn't your cup of tea)
