April Gallery Walk Book Reading, 7:15 pm on April 4th at Everyone’s Books – discussion and refreshments.
A reading and discussion with the authors of The Risk Of Returning.
An excellent new novel set in Guatemala, a society beset by the legacy of a century of American interventionist policies. Authors Rudy and Shirley Nelson of Amherst MA. will reflect on their time in Guatemala,as well as the art and labor of novel writing.
What can happen if you go back? This is the question Rudy and Shirley Nelson tackle in their recently published novel, THE RISK OF RETURNING. The place of return is Guatemala in 1987. The “returner” is forty-year-old Ted Peterson from Boston. His purpose: To solve the mystery of his father’s death years before. Instead, caught up in a culture of violence and deadly secrets, what he finds is as much about himself as his father.
