Artist Spotlight
Jess Walter - So Far Gone
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Beautiful Ruins"--and in the propulsive spirit of Charles Portis' "True Grit"--comes a hilarious, empathetic, and brilliantly provocative adventure through life in modern America, about a reclusive journalist forced back into the world to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren. (This event is currently sold out.)
