Venue: Online via Zoom

Join us for the first speaker in our Fall Reading Series. Richard Van Camp will be discussing his writing, including his recent collection of short stories: Moccasin Square Gardens. The characters in the stories inhabit Denendeh, the land of the people north of the sixtieth parallel, and are described as a collection of “in-laws, outlaws, and common-laws.” While Van Camp’s stories can be described as hilarious, they are all haunted by the presence of the Wheetago, “a human-devouring monster of legend that as returned due to global warming and the greed of humanity.”
