Description

Host Nathan Maharaj spoke with novelist Wally Lamb, the author of novels including She's Come Undone, I Know This Much Is True, and The Hour I First Believed. His new novel, his first in nearly a decade, is The River is Waiting. It's about Corbin Ledbetter, Corby to his friends, husband to Emily and father to twins Maisie and Niko. Corby's at the precipice of mid-life when he makes a terrible, terrible mistake. It's the kind of mistake most of us would struggle to imagine ever coming back from, but that's what Corby has to figure out as he endures punishments from society, family, and the harshest judge of all, himself.
