Don’t forget: I’ll be giving a free lecture/reading at UW-Superior today for my book “Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range. The program begins at 2 p.m. in the Manion Theater of the Holden Fine Arts Building. I’ll be talking partly about the book, a blend of humor, history and cultural observations of the unique blue collar place where I’m from. But I’ll also be exploring the challenge facing Gen Y and Gen X Americans growing up in places like the Iron Range, where decline and opportunity run on parallel tracks.
After the reading I’ll be signing books. I guess there will be cookies. Something like that. Also I’m going to set my “charm factor” to 11. That’s one more than 10.
Did I mention the cookies?
Read more about “Overburden” at my book page. Links to order online and my upcoming events are in the right sidebar at all times.
You don’t need charm for Superior. All you need is a case of Old Milwaukee.
