Owen Jarrell writes dark psychological thrillers narrated from inside the wrong head. THE NECESSARY MAN is a trilogy about a man who discovers he has forty three biological children and decides that makes him useful. The books never argue with him on the page, which is the point: the reader has to do it alone.
