The 600+ page novel, a “spellbinding first novel…nearly impossible to put down” (Kirkus Reviews), follows the life of Edgar, a mute boy who grows up on a dog breeding farm in Wisconsin. Richard Russo writes, “I doubt we'll see a finer literary debut this year. . . . Wroblewski's got storytelling talent to burn and a big, generous heart to go with it”; Stephen King says, “I flat out loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. . . . I don't reread many books, because life is too short. I will be rereading this one.” The Washington Post Book World calls it a “big-hearted novel you can fall into, get lost in and finally emerge from reluctantly, a little surprised that the real world went on spinning.”=0D=0A=The novel, a New York Times bestseller, was chosen for Oprah's Book Club. Wroblewski grew up in Wisconsin and wrote the book, he said, because he wished he could read a novel about a boy and a dog “flavored with the uncynical Midwestern sense of heart and purpose so familiar from my childhood.'=0D=0A=John Banville & Abraham Verghese=0D=0A=March 1, 2010=0D=0A=Zilkha Hall, Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, 800 Bagby=0D=0A=Tracy Kidder=0D=0A=March 22, 2010=0D=0A=Hubbard Stage, Alley Theatre, 615 Texas Avenue=0D=0A=Dorianne Laux & Patricia Smith=0D=0A=April 12, 2010=0D=0A=Neuhaus Stage, Alley Theatre, 615 Texas Avenue=0D=0A=Oscar Casares & Gwendolyn Zepeda=0D=0A=May 3, 2010=0D=0A=Hubbard Stage, Alley Theatre, 615 Texas Avenue=0D=0A=0D=0AStart time:All readings take place on Mondays at 7:30 pm (doors open at 6:45).
