From National Book Award Finalist Joshua Ferris, the author of Then We Came to the End, now comes A Calling for Charlie Barnes, a tender portrait of a man whose need to be loved is his downfall, and a brutally funny account of how that love is finally earned. Tune in for a compassionately relatable look at how a little perspective can help grant the gift of a second act to the discontented.
