September 15, 2011, Thursday - Bonnie Jo Campbell Publication Reading: Once Upon a River at the Loft

Time: 7:00pm

Location: The Loft, 1011 Washington Avenue South
 
A finalist for the National Book Award and the NBCC Award, and the winner of the ForeWord Review’s Book of the Year Award in Fiction for her critically acclaimed short story collection American Salvage, Bonnie Jo Campbell is one of the most compelling new voices in American fiction. With keen insight, Campbell takes her trademark storytelling wit to new heights in the luminous novel Once Upon a River. Masterfully evoking the sublime American wilderness favored by Annie Proulx and Wallace Stegner, this richly layered tale of love, hardship, self-exploration, and fortitude introduces the truly unforgettable character of Margo Crane and her river odyssey through rural Michigan.

Bonnie Jo Campbell is the author of three previous books, including American Salvage, a National Book Award Finalist. 

This event is free and open to the public.
