A Forty Year Kiss: An Evening with Nickolas Butler
Join The Book Stall on Thursday, February 6 at 6:30 pm for an evening with Nickolas Butler as he discusses his new book, A Forty Year Kiss. From the bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs comes a rugged small-town novel for readers who still believe in sunset triumph and second chances. With impeccable writing, this feel-good book featuring adults in their 60s is a refreshing and hopeful love story, and a nuanced meditation on reconciling with the past. Leif Enger, bestselling author of Peace Like a River, says, “Nick Butler only writes good books, but this is the one that sticks most tightly in my brain and heart…It’s a book for the midnight optimist that is waiting inside us all.” Mr. Butler will be in conversation with Maxwell Gregory.
