"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. This week's pick is by a new to me author:
Tumbledown; Robert Boswell
August 6, 2013 - Graywolf Press
At age thirty-three, James Candler seems to be well on the road to
success. He’s in line for a big promotion at Onyx Springs, the treatment
facility where he’s a therapist. He has a fiancée, a sizable house, and
a Porsche.
But . . . he’s falling in love with another woman,
he’s underwater on his mortgage, and he’s put his hapless best friend in
charge of his signature therapeutic program. Even the GPS on his car
can’t seem to predict where he should turn next. And his clients are
struggling in their own hilarious, heartbreaking ways to keep their
lives on track. How can he help them if he can’t help himself?
In Tumbledown,
Robert Boswell presents a large, unforgettable cast of characters who
are all failing and succeeding in various degrees to make sense of our
often-irrational world. In a moving narrative twist, he boldly reckons
with the extent to which tragedy can be undone, the impossible
accommodated.
