David Vann will be appearing at the Belmont Library to promote his latest book, Caribou Island. Vann's first book, the story collection Legend of a Suicide (2008), earned him the acclaim of being one of the best writers of his generation. His first novel is a worthy successor. Abounding in language that heightens our senses for the next evocative metaphor, Caribou Island gives us a climax as haunting and realized as any in recent fiction. A wine and cheese reception will precede the event and a book signing will follow the author's presentation.
