An astonishingly original novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lorraine Adams, author of Harbor, champion of the LA Times Reserve Prize.Here are fine-drawn, empathetic portraits of the often overlooked actors of America's infinite global conflict: the ridiculed night time editor of your prestigious magazine, an overburdened nuclear engineer, a duty-bound female fighter pilot, a religiously impassioned newbie reporter, a sergeant major thrust in to the responsibilities of your secretive demand. Their longings and loyalties take us, in the course of one shattering calendar year, from a forested city park, where child prostitutes set up business, to a Dubai hotel, in which a desperate man tries to fade away; from the nighttime corridors of Walter Reed Medical center to the snow-thickened mountains of the Hindu Kush.Advised in words as stunning because of its beauty as for its verisimilitude, The Room and the Seat dazzlingly bends the conventions of literary suspense to produce an remarkable, groundbreaking chronicle of today's dangerous world.
