The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski

'I flat-out loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I dont re-read many books, because life is too short. I will be re-reading this one.' Stephen King An International Bestseller

‘I read it last summer and I could not stop … a true labour of love’ Audrey Niffenegger, Guardian (Books of the Year)

‘[A] most enchanting debut novel. A great, big, mesmerising read. Pick up this book and expect to feel very, very reluctant to put it down.’ New York Times

‘An incredible journey that seems to have everything going for it; the beauty and flair of a great literary novel, the scale and pacing of a fantasy epic, and the absorbing thrill-ride of any glorious rites-of-passage adventure from our collective childhoods.’ Sunday Business Post

‘A big-hearted novel you can fall into, get lost in and finally emerge from reluctantly. Tender and suspenseful … grand and unforgettable.’ Washington Post

'I flat-out loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.’ Stephen King

'A mystery, a thriller, a ghost story, and a literary tour de force … an authentic epic' Los Angeles Times Book Review

'Stately and expansive narrative. Wroblewski's story builds on foundations provided by past literature but has an originality all its own.' Nick Rennison, Sunday Times

‘It must be the closest anyone came in 2008 to writing the “Great American Novel”.’ Guardian (Books of the Year)

David Wroblewski lives in Colorado with the poet Kimberly McClintock. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is his first novel.
