His new novel, The High Divide, is available now from Algonquin Books. It is the official October selection of The TNB Book Club.\r\nPublishers Weekly, in a starred review, calls it\r\n\r\n"[A] masterfully told Western reinvention of Homer’s Odyssey...Set against a backdrop of beauty and danger, this is the moving story of a man coming to terms with his past. In its narrative simplicity and emotional directness, it is reminiscent of John Ford’s classic The Searchers."\r\n\r\nAnd Library Journal, in a starred review, says\r\n\r\n"Moving through the High Divide--'the rough country between the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers'--even as its characters move through important divides, or turning points, of their own, Enger's novel is told in beautifully exact, liquid language that wastes no time, just as one cannot afford to waste time when making a journey such as the Pope family's. Highly recommended."\r\n\r\nMonologue topics: exhaustion, going to the doctor, Legoland, fear, loathing.\r\n \r\n ","author_name":"Otherppl with Brad Listi","author_url":"http:\/\/otherppl.com","html":"
