NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE BY JEREMIAH ZAGAR

"A novel so honest, poetic, and tough that it makes you reexamine what it means to love and to hurt." -- O, The Oprah Magazine

"The communal howl of three young brothers sustains this sprint of a novel . . . A kind of incantation." -- The New Yorker

This "fiery ode to boyhood" (Scott Simon, NPR) tracks three brothers as they tear their way through childhood, growing up in the shadow of Paps and Ma and learning a kind of love that is serious, dangerous, unshakeable, glorious. A stunning exploration of how we are formed by our earliest bonds, We the Animals bears witness to Justin Torres's serious talent and heralds him as a "brilliant, ferocious new voice" (Michael Cunningham).

"A miracle in concentrated pages, you are going to read it again and again." -- Dorothy Allison

"Rumbles with lyric dynamite . . . Torres is a savage new talent." -- Benjamin Percy, Esquire
