Fans of Wally Lamb (She's Come Undone, I Know This Much Is True) have come to appreciate his honest, intimate talks nearly as much as his powerful writing. His latest novel, We Are Water, set early in the Obama presidency, is a disquieting yet ultimately uplifting portrait of a marriage, a family and human resilience in the face of tragedy. Lamb turns his unflinching gaze on modern America, exploring issues of class, changing social mores, the legacy of racial violence, and the nature of creativity and art.
"A writer who never grapples with anything less than life’s biggest questions…he clearly aims to be a modern-day Dostoevsky with a pop sensibility."
