What it's about
Brooklyn. Portland. A fictional Irish town. One family's reckoning.
Middle-aged brothers Phillip and Spencer Elliot set out on a quest inspired by their late mother Jenny — a budding Egyptologist as a girl, who promised herself she would one day discover wonderful things.
From 1950s Brooklyn and the Catskill Mountains to present-day Portland, Oregon, and the fictitious Irish golf town of Ballydriocht, the brothers reckon with questions of permanence, change, and legacy — and try to find their true place in the world.
Like its predecessor, Everyone Here Is From Somewhere Else moves in two directions at once — outward to the road, and back into the long arc of family. The result is a warm, funny, quietly ambitious novel about belonging and the stories we inherit. Reads on its own — no need to have read Mr. Wizard first.
"Wallach continues his chronicle of the Elliot brothers as they traverse landscapes of fresh discovery and human connection — a journey rich in humor, wit, and insight."John Norville, co-writer of Tin Cup
