Query: A Pulitzer Prize Worthy Novel

I'm going to start this review with a rather dramatic, though absolutely true statement: I literally felt my heart twisting while reading this novel. (Why? Because Irving is a master at pulling at the heartstrings, but in the most INTELLIGENT of fasions.) Of Irving's pre-1990 work, this is his best novel, with "The World According to Garp" running a distant second, and "The Cider House Rules" and the lesser-known "Water Method Man" tying for third place. Irving was one of my favorite novelists of the 1980's, and this book was one of the oh, say, top five books I read during that decade (and I read about 500 books a decade). Since my tastes seem to change over time, I have not read any of Irvings's work in about a dozen years. Nonetheless, I implore you not to miss this book, for you'd be missing a unique literary epiphany.
