Author Event: Nickolas Butler

The library is very pleased to host a reading on Wednesday, February 11 at 7:00 by Nickolas Butler, author of Shotgun Lovesongs, a novel about a group of childhood friends from Little Wing, Wisconsin. Jonathan Evison of the New York Times Sunday Review found it “a good old-fashioned novel, a sure-footed and unabashedly sentimental first effort that deserves to be among the standouts in this year’s field of fiction debuts” and the Times’s Janet Maslin described it as “a big-hearted book…impressively original.” Copies will be available for sale and signing at the event from the Book Stall at Chestnut Court.  For those who would like to discuss Shotgun Lovesongs, a book discussion on it will take place on the same day at 1:00 in the afternoon.
