Shut Up and Read
Also at Northtown on Oct. 12 , Jaimee Wriston Colbert will be discussing her new book, Dream Lives of Butterflies , as part of Arts! Arcata. Colbert teaches at SUNY-Binghamton University, and she’s the author of two other books and the winner of the Willa Cather Award for fiction. The novel is a collection of linked stories about the have-nots at the end of the affluent 1990s in America. It’s a lovely, warm and funny book that’s grounded in nature in a way that is subtle and surprising. Go check it out.
Finally, from Oct. 17-20 , a couple dozen children’s authors will descend on Humboldt County for the Humboldt County Children’s Author Festival. If you’ve got kids in school, they’ll probably meet one of these authors that week. There will also be a book sale and a chance to meet the authors. Check www.authorfest.org for more details.
