I’m inviting metro readers to take part in my upcoming book events in the Twin Cities. I’ll be doing my full “Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range” reading/lecture (new and improved!) at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 4 at the Har-Mar Mall Barnes and Noble in Roseville. Somebody told me this is the biggest Barnes and Noble in the Midwest and that’s just vaguely impressive enough to include without verification. Then at 1 p.m. on Friday, June 5 I’ll be signing books at Common Good Books in St. Paul (165 Western Ave N). This is the store owned by Garrison Keillor. Between the two of us there just might be an epic explosion of wry Midwestern whimsy. Once harnessed, the energy could power a taconite plant, 10,000 poorly insulated homes and several million deer shack generators.
I’m not saying this will be the last “Overburden” book tour in the cities before I wrap up the tour, I’m just suggesting it so that you come to this one. Unfortunately, Christina and I have booked ourselves silly on this 36 hour metropolitan experience so there isn’t much time for socializing. Perhaps we can catch up at one of the events.
