Join Garden State Author Talks for an evening with Daniel Mason, one of America’s most celebrated novelists and the bestselling author of North Woods, for a discussion of his new novel, Country People.
A joyous, witty, and deeply humane story, Country People follows a young family as they leave behind the comforts of home for a new life in the forests of Vermont. What begins as a fresh start soon becomes an unexpected journey into folklore, eccentric characters, local legends, and the enduring power of stories. Filled with Mason’s trademark intelligence, lyricism, and sense of wonder, the novel explores marriage, parenthood, belief, and the ways we find connection in an increasingly fragmented world.
Daniel Mason will appear in conversation with a special guest moderator to be announced. Following the discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to have their books signed.
