Listen to Jessi Wakefield as she recommends The Heap by Sean Adams.
This is Jessi Wakefield with the Sioux City Public Library, and you’re listening to Check It Out.
Today I would like to recommend the unique and quirky All Iowa Reads Finalist, The Heap by Sean Adams.
Des Moines native and Iowa Writer’s Workshop Alumnus, Sean Adams has created a truly eccentric novel about the rise and fall of the towering Las Verticales, a high-rise housing complex standing over 500 stories tall. The Vert, as it s known, is a marvel of modern architecture. A place that is more a city to itself than a building, with unconventional urban planning. That is until one day, the building suddenly collapses into a pile of rubble now known as The Heap.
