Virtual Author Series: Erin Flanagan
Virtual Author Series: Erin Flanagan
Mark your calendars for a reading and discussion with author Erin Flanagan! Set in 1980s rural Nebraska, Deer Season, Flanagan's 2021 novel, follows a mystery surrounding a missing girl and a farmhand with a past as area hunters enjoy opening weekend. Much like Willa Cather, Flanagan portrays the not-so-distant past of a Great Plains community and asks readers to consider how rural culture shapes the lives of her characters. Register for the event here.
