LEIF ENGER & LIN ENGER
Thursday, July 10 at 7:30 p.m.

We are delighted to present this pair of brothers for this joint reading, Leif Enger with his much-anticipated second novel (following Peace Like a River), So Brave, Young and Handsome (Atlantic Monthly), and Lin Enger with his debut, Undiscovered Country (Little, Brown). Both are home-state Minnesotans, both still live there, and both have the land of 10,000 lakes as the setting for their new books. "An inviting voice guides readers through this expansive saga of redemption in the early 20th-century West and gives a teeming vitality to a period often represented with stock phrases and stock characters ... Enger crafts scenes so rich you can smell the spilled whiskey and feel the grit." - Publishers Weekly on So Brave, Young and Handsome. Undiscovered Country is the story of a seventeen-year-old young man, up in the north woods on a hunting trip with his father, about to have his world and bearings seriously challenged in life-changing ways.
