This blistering debut novel about three brothers tearing their way through childhood in a family is fierce and absorbing\, full of chaos and heartbreak and euphoria. \nTorres’s sentences are gymnastic\, leaping and twirling . . . always justified by the ferocity and heartbreak and hunger and slap-happy euphoria of these three boys. It’s a knock to the head that will leave your mouth agape.”\n— Benjamin Percy\, Esquire \nTorres has published short fiction in The New Yorker\, Harper's\, Granta\, Tin House\, The Washington Post\, Glimmer Train\, Flaunt\, and other publications\, as well as non-fiction pieces in publications like The Guardian and The Advocate. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop\, Justin's novel We the Animals has been translated into fifteen languages and was recently adapted into a film. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for five Independent Spirit Awards. \n\n\n \nSNC Tahoe's Writers in the Woods features well-known poets and writers from all over the country presenting readings and workshops.
