Lamb
Lamb traces the self-discovery of David Lamb, a narcissistic middle-aged man with a tendency toward dishonesty, in the weeks following the disintegration of his marriage and the death of his father. Hoping to regain some faith in his own goodness, he turns his attention to Tommie, an awkward and unpopular eleven-year-old girl. Lamb is convinced that he can help her avoid a destiny of apathy and emptiness and even comes to believe that his devotion to Tommie is in her best interest. But when he decides to abduct a willing Tommie for a road trip from Chicago to the Rockies, planning to initiate her to the beauty of the mountain wilderness, they are both shaken in ways neither of them expects.
Lamb is a masterful exploration of the dynamics of love and dependency that challenges the boundaries between adolescence and adulthood, confronts preconceived notions about conventional morality, and exposes mankind's eroded relationship with nature.
Bonnie Nadzam is an author whose first novel, Lamb, won the 2011 Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize, the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, and was long-listed for the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction. It has been translated into several languages and was made into an award-winning film in 2016. She is also the coauthor, with Dale Jamieson, of Love in the Anthropocene and has published fiction and essays in many journals and magazines, including Granta, Harper’s, Epoch, Orion, the Iowa Review, and the Kenyon Review.
