Editorial reviews

Featuring David Wroblewski as emcee and Ted Marcoux as a performer, this episode of the Thalia Book Club is about Daniel Menaker's first novel The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Dark and intriguing, Menaker's book is part detective novel, part coming-of-age story. Set in the Midwest, the book follows a young, speechless boy as he attempts to catch a murderer and discover the depths of his own secret powers. Menaker and Wroblewski are both a treat to listen to. This performance is a must for any avid book club fan.
