Madeline Cash on Writing an Absurdist Systems Novel

Lost Lambs is a stunning first novel, wondrously comic, propelled by absurdist wordplay and a deep knowledge of today’s over commercialized culture. It’s droll, sophisticated yet empathetic toward human flaws as it follows the Flynns, a dysfunctional nuclear family of five, and the sometimes wacky people around them.  Add-on: it’s a crime caper involving each Flynn, one way or another.
