...state schools,” she said. More than 800 Harvard students are recipients of Pell Grants each year, according to Donahue. In the 2005-2006 academic year, the average Pell Grant was $2,354 and the maximum award was $4,050, according to the College Board.

On its surface, sure, it’s boring and depressing: Poverty, shattered dreams and the mundane happenings inside a floundering neighborhood grocery aren??t exactly a recipe for excitement. But while it’s not easy to get the cynic in me to genuinely relate to the characters—a college dropout, a roaming thief, and an old, cantankerous couple—Malamud does it, through a combination...
