Pulitzer Prize-winning Anthony Doerr brings light to books as instruments of change

Author Anthony Doerr

In May of 2014, Anthony Doerr’s WWII novel All the Light We Cannot See (Scribner) was published. His fifth book, the novel was a breakout success that went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and catapulted Doerr into what can only be described as literary stardom.

His ongoing popularity is evidenced by his sold-out talk at the Santa Fe International Literary Festival, where he will be in conversation with Bryan Curtis on Saturday, May 18, to discuss his 2021 novel Cloud Cuckoo Land (Scribner).

Doerr, who spoke to Pasatiempo from his home in Boise, Idaho, says he’s excited to participate in this year’s festival and to return to Santa Fe, which he just visited recently for a workshop at the Santa Fe Institute.
