Author Event – Norman Maclean: A Life of Letters and Rivers

Join MPL for a discussion and reading with author Rebecca McCarthy from her new book, Norman Maclean: A Life of Letters and Rivers. McCarthy will be joined by O. Alan Weltzien, editor of The Norman Maclean Reader.

“Rebecca McCarthy’s intimate portrait of Maclean draws on her long friendship with the author from the time she became a student at the University of Chicago through the rest of his life. Irrepressible as a teacher, Maclean shared guidance, advice, campus and city rambles, and loyal friendship with generations of students. A vivid evocation of an iconic figure, Norman Maclean reveals the forces and events that shaped the author-educator and formed the bedrock of his beloved stories.”
