Learn to Love Fiction at Barrington Public Library

In this popular seminar intended for both readers and writers, award-winning novelist Justin Kramon explores the art of storytelling from a writer's perspective at Barrington Public Library on Tuesday, April 15 from 7 to 9 PM.

Through a guided discussion, the goal is to achieve a deeper appreciation, enjoyment, and even love of fiction. Kramon discusses his personal experience of being moved and inspired by contemporary and classic books, and how he drew from this appreciation in his own work. His enthusiasm about novels is contagious.

No experience needed. Writers, readers, book clubs, and any book enthusiast will get something out of this talk. Discounted and signed copies of Kramon’s novels will be for sale following the event.
