Sena Jeter Naslund’s new novel Adam & Eve was featured on The New York Times Sunday Book Review. The University of Iowa Writers' Workshop alum’s new book was heralded as “surprisingly affecting – if only because it’s so weird.” This semi-futuristic novel dramatizes the conflict between fundamentalism and those who have a more aesthetic understanding of human experience – in short it chronicles the searing debate between fundamentalists and evolutionists. Through provocative and strange writing, Naslund’s new novel unravels an unlikely plot, and as Louisa Thomas of the New York Times puts it “for a catalog of the improbable, the novel has few matches — save, of course, the Bible.”
