Publications

"She's Come Undone"

Lamb's first novel is the story of overweight Dolores Price. We follow her from the age of 4 into adulthood where she learns the importance of the love in people around her. This was Lamb's first #1 "New York Times" bestseller, "She's Come Undone" (Pocket Books; 1992) which also hit "USA Today", "Los Angeles Times", "Publishers Weekly" and other national bestseller list. "She's Come Undone" was chosen as a finalist for the 1992 Los Angeles Times Book Awards’ Art Seidenbaum Prize for first fiction. It was named a notable book of the year by numerous publications, including "The New York Times Book Review" and "People". The book was also chosen by the Oprah Winfrey Show as a "Book Club" selection in early 1997, and is one of the bestselling titles chosen for that honor.

"I Know This Much is True"

His second book, "I Know This Much Is True" (ReganBooks), was released in June 1998. It is the story of the Birdsey twins, Thomas and Dominick. Dominick is a middle aged divorcé with a chip on his shoulder from his troubled life. His twin Thomas suffers from schizophrenia. He is paranoid, volatile, and lost in his own mind. This book chronicles their lives, explores the details and mysteries of their past, how and why they are where they are now. This book was also an Oprah Book Club selection.

"Couldn't Keep it to Myself"

Taking the role of editor, Lamb took several stories written by women in prison and compiled them into one book. Lamb has been volunteering at the prison for several years, and one of his students recently won the PEN/Newman's Own Award after overcoming attempts at censorship by the state of Connecticut. On September 18, 2007, Lamb released another book from the ladies at the prison called I'll Fly Away.

"The Hour I First Believed"

This book will be released in the United States on November 11, 2008.
