Good Read - Fictional Book with a Radio Theme
« on: January 08, 2017, 0001 UTC »


Knowing my affinity for radio, my book eating 30 year old son gave me as a Christmas present the Pulitzer Prize winning fiction book "All the Light We Cannot See".  A theme throughout the book is radio - from repair to quasi-pirate to military use to number station.  It is mainly set in Europe during the 30's and 40's. Interesting story, 500 pages but a real page turner - I knocked it out in two days over Christmas.

It won the 2015 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. Not bad at all.
