Birchbark Books is delighted to welcome author Dennis E. Staples for an evening celebrating his new novel, This Town Sleeps. Set on an Ojibwe reservation in far northern Minnesota, This Town Sleeps explores the many ways history, culture, landscape, and lineage shape our lives, our understanding of the world we inhabit, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of it all.
Louise Erdrich calls it a tender, suspenseful, irresistible first novel.
We haven’t seen this much praise and excitement since Tommy Orange’s There There!
Dennis will be signing books after the reading, available for purchase at the event.
Free and open to the public, so don’t miss it!
