Daniel Boone Regional Library

Bring a brown bag lunch and join us to discuss "Await Your Reply" by Dan Chaon. At the noon session, former Boone County Presiding Circuit Judge Frank Conley will lend a legal perspective to the discussion of activities and issues portrayed in the novel, and Julie Baka, Daniel Boone Regional Library trustee, will lead the 7 p.m. discussion. Next month we'll discuss "The Places in Between," by Rory Stewart.

One Read author Dan Chaon will speak, answer your questions and sign copies of his novel "Await Your Reply." Chaon is also the author of “You Remind Me of Me,” which was named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, The Christian Science Monitor, and Entertainment Weekly, among other publications. Ballantine has also published two collections of his short stories: “Fitting Ends" and "Among the Missing,” which was a finalist for the 2001 National Book Award. This presentation is free and you can also attend via videoconference at William Woods University in Fulton or listen live on KOPN 89.5FM or www.kopn.org.
