Sam Wachman's debut novel is the powerhouse coming-of-age story of Artem, a 12-year-old boy navigating his sexuality and survival against the backdrop of the Russo-Ukranian War. Wachman's novel hits close to home. An English teacher and volunteer for Ukranian refugees, Wachman's love of his second homeplace infuses his story with deep emotion, complexity, and care. Today, Wachman and I sit down to discuss homeland, growing up, and writing fiction against the reality of war. A must listen, and a must read from HarperCollins, out now.
