SUMMARY:Visiting Writers Series: Patrick Ryan — October 8
DESCRIPTION:\n \nP.E. Monroe at Lenoir Rhyne University\nNo cost, but tickets are required\n\n\n\n\n\n625 7th Ave NE, Hickory, NC 28601\n https://www.lr.edu/vws\n\n\nHere’s the lineup you’ll be seeing announced soon:\nOnce in a while, mistakes happen. I mention this mistake because it testifies to something powerful about Patrick Ryan’s new novel, Buckeye.\nWhen I made a late request for an advance review copy of Buckeye, the copy I received looked fine, but when I opened it I realized it was mistakenly bound backwards. The title page was at the very end of this over-450-page novel.\nSo, as a kind of brain exercise, I began reading Buckeye backwards, my head moving from right to left. By page 9, I was already so caught up in the world Ryan creates, Buckeye could have been misprinted upside down and sideways and I still wouldn’t have been able to put it down.\nPatrick Ryan — October 8\nAward-winning author Patrick Ryan will discuss his novel “Buckeye,” a sweeping story set in small-town Ohio that traces interconnected lives and moral choices across generations.\nMarjan Kamali — October 22\nBestselling author of the beloved novel “The Stationery Shop,” Marjan Kamali returns with “The Lion Women of Tehran,” a moving story of friendship, courage and resilience amid political and social change.\nMichael Finkel — January 21\nJournalist Michael Finkel will close the season with the astonishing story behind his #1 New York Times bestseller “The Art Thief,” chronicling one of the most prolific art thefts in history.\n\n\n
