Alan Lazar is a writer who lives with his family and three dogs in Los Angeles, Calif. ROAM is his first novel.
ROAM is touted as an eye-opening look at the human condition. Roam (Atria Hardcover, November 2011) is an insightful story about families, love lost and found, and the three-legged dog named Nelson that brings them all together. Nelson witnesses humans in all different stages of their lives, and with an objective point of view, offers insight as to how our emotions and general states of being are detectible by an animal’s keen senses. It is also a story of survival, and in telling the story of Nelson’s will to live in the wild, Lazar artfully shows us just how animals communicate with each other.
