“Loner” by Teddy Wayne

“Loner,” a new novel by Teddy Wayne, has been added to my to-read list.

“Enter David Federman, a character so detestable (yet in some ways relatable) that readers will be forced to confront the corruption within themselves and in their ostensibly harmless neighbors and peers – a corruption that occurs in the silent moments of childhood and adolescence and culminates when young adults are set loose in places like a college campus. Through David Federman, individuals like Elliot Rodger, Dylann Roof, and Brock Turner have found their literary counterpart.”
