Book Trailer of the Week

January 15, 2011

Our latest Book Trailer of the Week is for Dan Chaon’s pulse-pounding novel Await Your Reply.  A fixture on many 2009 best book lists, this haunting tale explores the dangers of reinventing yourself as it traces the oddly interlocking lives of three disparate characters: an 18-year-old orphan who runs away with her high school teacher, a college dropout running identity-theft scams for his birth father, and a 30-something twin searching for his missing brother.  Elegant and chilling, Await Your Reply is the perfect read while you await Chaon’s upcoming short story collection Stay Awake.  And now… roll film.
