Walters captures the first-person perspective on the events inside the WTC with realistic, frightening, and heartbreaking directness. Walters acquits himself well, although We All Fall Down is not without its faults. It takes a certain boldness to use one of the most significant historical events in recent memory in one’s fiction few writers have taken on 9/11 directly. His father’s office? On the 85th floor of the World Trade Center in Manhattan. As We All Fall Down, the new novel from prolific Mississauga writer Eric Walters, opens, Will is less than excited about spending a full day at his father’s workplace, observing him in action. He’s a decent student who dreams of starting a band, has a crush on a girl in his history class, and doesn’t see much of his dad, a high-powered executive who spends more time at the office than at home. Will Fuller is a typical American teenager.
