Discover the craft and process of memoir writing with award-winning Minnesota author, Will Weaver, on Friday, January 21 at 7 p.m. at the Historic Holmes Theatre Ballroom in Detroit Lakes -- telling our own stories, writing our own lives.
This program is supported in part or in whole with money from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage fund. Highlighted below are some of the works of Mr. Weaver available in your library to help get you ready for his visit:
Checkered Flag Cheater, by Will Weaver. Trace Bonham is living large as the teen driver for a pro Super Stock racing team. He's on billboards and on the road instead of stuck in school. And he's blowing away the competition wherever he races. But Trace is worried that those who think his crew is illegally "juicing" his engine may be right. It's up to him to discover what is going on--and what he's going to do about it.
The Last Hunter, by Will Weaver. The Last Hunter is a 21st century collection of deeply personal tales -- a truly American story. Weaver's heartfelt rendering sweeps us along on a family journey from an isolated North Dakota farm "built around a fork and shovel" to postmodern America. Grounded in telling and luminous detail, The Last Hunter is an examination of family, life on the land, and those things we hold dear enough to want to carry along, one generation to another.
