Pulitzer Prize ???? I can hardly believe it. That cause, that cause and it does not happen much. The establishment of American democracy and the birth of cities has some interest but the characters do not know what to do for themselves. The style is really funny and there are excellent wordplay but I wait in vain that something is happening. A good book can keep me awake one night, it is soporific. I do not play more than two consecutive pages without sleep. Yet the hero is nice, there should be a way to do something much more animated than that. It seems that the other volumes are better but I have no desire to try.
