Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Dan Wilson, who returns to his hometown of Minneapolis for three shows at the Cedar Cultural Center June 4-6, is an avid reader. The latest novel he finished is "Redshirts" by John Scalzi.

Jon Bream

"It's one of those books you can't even explain what it is. You just have to buy it and give it to people as a gift. It's a science fiction, swashbuckling adventure that turns into a metaphysical mystery, and I can't say any more because it will ruin everything. It's so amazing."
