DAVID WROBLEWSKI signs
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
(Ecco, $25.95)
|
Publishers Weekly starred: "A literary thriller with commercial legs, this stunning debut is bound to be a bestseller. In the backwoods of Wisconsin, the Sawtelle family -- Gar, Trudy and their young son, Edgar -- carry on the family business of breeding and training dogs. Edgar, born mute, has developed a special relationship and a unique means of communicating with Almondine, one of the Sawtelle dogs. ...a classic coming-of-age story with an ironic twist. Sustained by a momentum that has the crushing inevitability of fate, the propulsive narrative will have readers sucked in all the way through the breathtaking final scenes." Kirkus called it "A stately, wonderfully written debut novel... An auspicious debut: a boon for dog lovers, and for fans of storytelling that eschews flash. Highly recommended." And Janet Maslin in the New York Times called it "...the most enchanting debut novel of the summer. Written over a decade by the heretofore unknown David Wroblewski and arriving as a bolt from the blue, this is a great, big, mesmerizing read, audaciously envisioned as classic Americana." | |
