Elizabeth Strout

Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist of intimate rural lives and human endurance

Quiet emotional reckonings, coastal Maine landscapes and compassionate portraits of flawed ordinary people distinguish the literary fiction of Elizabeth Strout. Born in Portland, Maine, in 1956, Strout earned a law degree before dedicating herself to fiction, developing a clean, deceptively simple style that captures the unspoken truths between husbands, wives, parents and children. Her interconnected novel Olive Kitteridge won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, introducing an unforgettable, sharp-tongued retired schoolteacher. Strout expanded her fictional universe through beloved heroines in My Name Is Lucy Barton, Oh William! and Lucy by the Sea. Readers exploring her humane, perceptive storytelling should begin with Olive Kitteridge.
