February 21, 2012, Tuesday - Talk of the Stacks with David Treuer at Central Library
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Pohlad Hall at Central Library, 300 Nicollet Mall
David Treuer, acclaimed author of Little, The Hiawatha and The Translation of Dr. Apelles, has received a Pushcart Prize, the Minnesota Book Award, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Bush Foundation for his work. A professor of literature and creative writing at the University of Southern California, he divides his time between Los Angeles and Leech Lake Reservation in Minnesota. In Rez Life, his first full-length work of nonfiction, Treuer uses his novelist storytelling skills and eye for complex and subtle detail to examine Native American reservation life, past and present.
“Out of the people and places of Native America David Treuer has crafted a story of vital interest to all Americans.” — Vice President Walter Mondale
