The One is an unusual entry in Jess Walter’s catalog. Published as seven separate episodes in 2019, it reads like a serialized novel or a collection of tightly linked stories. Each installment has its own title and focus while contributing to a bigger picture.
The format gives Walter room to experiment. Episodes like Speed Grieving and A Wedding Thing each have their own tone and subject matter, but they connect to form something larger than the individual parts.
