Pulitzer Prize–finalist Adam Haslett has a new novel out today titled, Mothers and Sons. The book follows a workaholic immigration lawyer and his estranged mother, who now operates a women’s retreat.
Told through alternating perspectives, Mothers and Sons explores some heavy themes: grief, immigration, sexuality, and politics.
Adam Haslett and I spoke about these themes, the musicality of his prose and his writing process.
