This is a public forum for discussion, and your response amounted to "go Google it" in response to my original post, which was clearly looking for personal discussion with reddit users.
That pattern matches to rude AF in my book. The more verbose equivalent of "LMGTFY"

The lingering invisible damage of psychic trauma.
I agree, the book does delve that cave.

That point, about art, and more broadly the distance between perception and reality, is super interesting and not something that I'd consciously called out. That's the sort of thematic linkage that I hadn't unearthed, but helps me understand why it won a Pulitzer.
Thank you.
Edit and after reviewing David Copperfield's Wikipedia entry, I see it, totally.

If it won a Pulitzer, and I a pretty avid critical reader of literature don't see why, the safe bet is that I'm missing something.
Hence this post.
Literature isn't always about liking a text, but I've failed to find anything substantive in the themes the book ostensibly interrogates.
What did you make of it beyond just the story?
Which is to also say, hewing back to my ur-question, why did this book win a Pulitzer?

Climbing Katahdin in the winter is the best, tho.
Definitely more commitment / harder to get to.

You should try going up north. Hiking in the winter among ice snow and cliffs is sublime.
Plus no ticks
