His Family

The 1910s are often regarded as the decade of unparalleled social transformation, witnessing the rise of groundbreaking innovations such as the automobile, electricity, radio, telephone, and cinema. In contrast, our current era of change may seem less tumultuous, yet it is equally fast-paced. His Family tells the poignant story of a widowed father navigating the complexities of this transformative decade as it impacts his family in New York City. Notably, this novel was the inaugural winner of the Pulitzer Prize for literature in 1919. (Summary by JCarson)
