Wally Lamb- "I Know This Much Is True" Author & Executive Producer of HBO Series about Paranoid Schizophrenia, Forgiveness, & the Power of Storytelling to Heal
Wally Lamb is the author of not one, but six New York Times best-selling novels that speak to generations of readers who recognize their own struggles within his characters. He was twice selected for Oprah's Book Club with She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True, a current HBO limited series starring Mark Ruffalo as identical twin brothers, one with paranoid schizophrenia.
The human struggle and the power of story to heal inspire Wally, a former high school English teacher. The work he's done teaching writing to women prisoners in Connecticut and editing two volumes of their essays most embodies the idea of the healing power of storytelling.
Wally was born to a working-class family in Norwich, Connecticut. He began writing in 1981, the year he became a father, and credits his ability to write in female voices with having grown up with older sisters in a neighborhood largely populated by girls. Wally and his wife Christine live in northeastern Connecticut and in New York City and are the parents of three sons and three grandchildren.
Wally's characters are imperfect people seeking to become better people, stories that move beyond the boundaries and limitations of his own experience to better understand the lives of others. You can't help but see yourself in his stories and be moved.
