David Wroblewski Biography

David Wroblewski is the author of the national best-selling and critically acclaimed novel The Story of Edgar Sawtelle (Ecco). An instant best-seller, the book remained on the New York Times hardcover best-seller list for 39 weeks, was the most successful debut novel of 2008, and became the 62nd Oprah Book Club Selection. It garnered remarkable critical acclaim and was named a "Best Book of the Year" by the New York Times, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, USA Today, People, Entertainment Weekly, Miami Herald, and Chicago Tribune.

Wroblewski has become a sought after speaker at libraries, arts and lectures venues, and literary festivals. He grew up in rural Wisconsin, not far from the Chequamegon National Forest where The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is set. He earned his master's degree from the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers and now lives in Colorado with his partner, the writer Kimberly McClintock, and their dog, Lola.

Epic in scope, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle evokes the ancient kinship between people and dogs, set against the majestic backdrop of the northern Wisconsin wilderness. Born mute, speaking in a sign language of his own invention, Edgar Sawtelle has led an idyllic childhood on his parents' remote farm, where, for generations, the Sawtelles have raised and trained a fictional breed of dog whose thoughtful presence is exemplified by Almondine, Edgar's lifelong companion. During the summer of his fourteenth year, Edgar seems poised to excel in his family's work. He has a way with the dogs, and he has just been given his first litter of pups to raise.

But that summer brings two unexpected visitors: a stray dog who refuses to come in from the wild, and Claude, Edgar's uncle, who cannot seem to tame his own ferocious nature. After his father's untimely death, Edgar's world begins to unravel. He cannot stop blaming himself, if only for failing to call for help. And Claude has begun to insinuate himself into the life of the farm - and into Edgar's mother's affections. One night, in the falling rain, Edgar learns a terrifying secret, and suddenly everything he has known and loved - his mother, the land, the inhabitants and rituals of rural life, and even the dogs themselves - seems filled with mystery. When an ingenious attempt to discover the truth behind his father's death ends in disaster, Edgar flees into the vast Chequamegon wilderness, leading - or perhaps being led by - three yearling dogs.

What follows is an extraordinary coming of age, as Edgar struggles to care for his dogs while the dogs, in turn, teach Edgar what it means to be faithful - at any cost. With summer drawing to a close, they make a final, desperate run for their lives. But his need to face his father's murderer, and his devotion to the Sawtelle dogs, turn Edgar ever homeward.

In this masterful novel, Wroblewski brilliantly examines the limits of language and the elemental forces of love, loss, and revenge. At once a riveting adventure and a multi-layered family saga, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is a bold, ambitious novel that will captivate readers from its mysterious opening to its breathtaking finale.
