A book signing will follow the talk. The event is open to the public and will include a moderated discussion with the author. \nThe Minnesota Humanities Center will offer a limited number of complimentary copies to event attendees and the University of Minnesota Press will have additional copies for purchase. The event is co-sponsored by the two organizations\, and is part of the Minnesota Humanities Center’s Minnesota Writers Series\, which amplifies the works of Minnesota authors about the human experience.
