Virgil Wander is a midwestern twist on magical realism, about a town - and its inhabitants - struggling for a new lease on life, ". . . a lush crowd-pleaser about meaning and second chances and magic . . . just the kind of book and protagonist we're all searching for." - The New York Times Book Review.
