We have 10 copies of We the Animals by Justin Torres to give away to 10 Riot readers!

Here’s what it’s all about:

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

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).
