Oprah Winfrey selected "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski as her latest book club pick on Friday, calling it "best novel I've read in a long, long, long time."
"I think this book is right up there with the greatest American novels ever written, I really do," said Winfrey towards the end of the show. Winfrey compared the book to the work of John Steinbeck and Harper Lee, the author of "To Kill A Mockingbird".
"When you read it you will understand why I had to choose it," Winfrey told her audience. "It is so engaging, so gripping, so epic that I wanted absolutely everybody to share the joy of the story of Edgar Sawtelle."
"The Story of Edgar Sawtelle," ninth on The New York Times best-seller list, is the story of a mute boy who communicates best with his dogs. The story is set in rural Wisconsin where Wroblewski grew up.
Winfrey said that soon over the next few months Wroblewski will take part in a live Q&A webcast session with her for the nearly 2 million members of her book club.
