Book Reading and Conversation with William Kent Krueger

Sunday, June 14, 2020

Join best-selling author William Kent Krueger for a virtual gathering and book reading on Sunday, June 14 at 2:00 p.m. Krueger, the author of This Tender Land and Ordinary Grace, will join us from his Minnesota home via a Zoom conversation to explore the themes of his most recent novel, This Tender Land.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune said of This Tender Land: “Part Grapes of Wrath, part Huckleberry Finn, Krueger’s novel is a journey over inner and outer terrain toward wisdom and freedom…Like Ordinary Grace, it is a compelling tale told through the eyes of a boy who translates the world in all its beauty and meanness and emerges hopeful on the other side.” Krueger’s other works include the Cork O’Connor series set in Minnesota’s Boundary Waters. He is the winner of the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Dilys, Lefty and Barry awards as well as the Minnesota Book Award and the Loft McKnight Fiction Award.

Our Sunday, June 14 conversation on This Tender Land will be facilitated by Robin Agnew, local Ann Arbor bookseller. This Good Reads conversation is sponsored by the First Presbyterian Adult Education Group.

Books are available in the First Pres Church Office for $27 each and can be picked up by calling the Church Office, Monday—Thursday, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Paperback copies are available for $17.00 and can be ordered locally through BookBound Bookstore at 734-369-4345 or the usual online sources
