On this week’s episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by Wally Lamb and his latest, bestselling novel, The River is Waiting. You know Wally’s work as the esteemed Oprah’s Book Club selections: I’ll Take You There, We Are Water, Wishin’ and Hopin’, The Hour I First Believed, I Know This Much Is True, and She’s Come Undone. Wally also edited Couldn’t Keep It to Myself and I’ll Fly Away, two volumes of essays from students in his writing workshop at York Correctional Institution, a women’s prison in Connecticut, where he was a volunteer facilitator for twenty years. This is a conversation about addiction, redemption and forgiveness, and how faith and culture influence our art.
