About this listen

When seventeen-year-old Erich Hofmann takes his own life in 1969, his younger brother asks to be called by the dead boy's name. Already deeply affected by years of separation and darkly comical disarray, his mother, father, and older sister agree to the request, setting in motion an unspoken conspiracy to keep Erich alive by sacrificing the younger child to his memory.

Told nearly two decades later by the surviving "Erich," this haunting, humorous debut novel charts a course through a changing America—and America's denial of death and grief.

First published by Steerforth Press in 2001, The World's Room was acclaimed nationally in the U.S. and hailed by novelist Lorrie Moore as "a stunning first book."
