David Wroblewski burst onto the literary scene in 2008 with his debut novel, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. The 600+ page book, a “spellbinding first novel. . . nearly impossible to put down” (Kirkus Reviews), follows the life of Edgar, a mute boy who grows up on a dog-breeding farm in Wisconsin. The novel went on to become a New York Times bestseller and was chosen for Oprah’s Book Club. The reading was followed by an on-stage interview conducted by fiction writer and faculty member of the UH Creative Writing Program, Robert Boswell.
