Lazar, Zachary

A solid audio that will find traction in large public libraries.

A complex meditation on race in America and on the unpredictable ways that ordinary lives can veer tragically off track.

Lazar, whose novel Sway brought together Charles Manson's horrific crimes, the life of filmmaker Kenneth Anger, and the rise of the Rolling Stones, is a master of combining disparate stories into one complicated revealing narrative. In this novel, he has again succeeded in taking the reader through various seemingly unconnected lives and demonstrating how we are all immigrants striving for some inexplicable dream.
