2014-01-14 00:36:37| Powells Books Events Calendar
In his heartbreaking yet hopeful fourth novel, The Free (Harper Perennial), Willy Vlautin demonstrates his extraordinary talent for illuminating the disquiet of modern American life, captured in the experiences of three memorable characters looking for meaning in distressing times. In crystalline prose, both beautiful and devastating, Vlautin considers the issues transforming ordinary people's lives — the cost of health care, the lack of economic opportunity, the devastating scars of war — creating a contemporary portrait that is also a testament to the resiliency of the human heart.
