It's a two-fer book bonanza when a pair of novelists with Minnesota ties, Benjamin Percy and Nathan Hill, discuss their new books at Magers & Quinn Booksellers in Minneapolis.
Benjamin Percy and Nathan Hill talk books, Minnesota
They're debuting novels "The Sky Vault" and "Wellness."
Both titles already are in stores. Former University of St. Thomas professor Hill follows up his bestselling "The Nix" with another epic novel, "Wellness," about a married couple who navigate a variety of cultish self-help groups over a period of two decades. Northfield writer Percy's "The Sky Vault," third in his "Comet Cycle," connects inexplicable weather phenomena in Alaska with a vast government conspiracy.
They will hobnob at "Magical Thinking: An Evening With Nathan Hill and Benjamin Percy," 7 p.m. Wednesday. The event at the Minneapolis store is free but reservations are required at magersandquinn.com.
LOCAL FICTION: Featuring stories within stories, she’ll discuss the book at Talking Volumes on Tuesday.
