SUMMARY:STORIES AT THE STATION - William Kent Krueger and Sarah Stonich
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with William Kent Krueger & Sarah StonichThursday\, October 16 6:00 pmUnion Depot\, St. Paul \nJoin us for a special night of conversation and readings with two of Minnesota’s finest authors: William Kent Krueger and Sarah Stonich. \nThe evening will begin with brief opening remarks and introductions. Each author will read a selection from their work\, followed by reflections on craft\, place\, and how Minnesota shapes their storytelling. We’ll follow with a conversation between them\, touching on their different approaches\, shared themes\, and what’s next for each. Audience Q&A will follow\, and there will be a book signing and book sale afterward. This event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from two voices deeply rooted in Minnesota’s literary landscape — one of them a master of atmospheric mystery and the other a chronicler of northern lives and landscapes. You’ll come away with new insights into how place shapes narrative\, along with fresh enthusiasm for their newest works. Seating is first-come\, first-served (if you need special accommodations\, please let us know in advance). Admission is free with registration\, and light appetizers and a cash bar will be available. \n\nAbout the Authors \nWilliam Kent Krueger lives in St. Paul\, Minnesota\, and has long made the state his literary home\, setting many of his novels in northern Minnesota. Krueger is best known for his Cork O’Connor mystery series\, but also writes stand-alone novels like This Tender Land and Ordinary Grace (which won the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 2013).His latest Cork O’Connor installment\, Apostle’s Cove\, is expected to continue his tradition of weaving suspense\, place\, and moral ambiguity. \nSarah Stonich was born in Duluth\, Minnesota\, and currently resides in Minneapolis.Her fiction often explores small towns in northern Minnesota\, where she mines the tensions between place\, identity\, industry\, and nature. Stonich’s first novel\, These Granite Islands\, was published in 2001 and went on to international translation and critical acclaim (including a Loft McKnight Award and a Minnesota State Arts Board Award). She recently published Fishing!\, a sharp\, funny novel about family\, culture\, and the outdoors.

SUMMARY:Stories at the Station - Mubanga Kalimamukwento
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the 2025 Minnesota Book Award in the Novel and Short Story category\, Obligations to the Wounded is an extraordinary collection of stories about Zambian women\, all of whom are adjusting to circumstances far outside of their control\, either in the United States or in Kalimamukwento’s birth nation of Zambia. \n  \n“While providing a sense of the ancient traditions of the various ethnic groups of the landlocked south-central African nation\, the stories in Obligations to the Wounded have a universal appeal. Who wouldn’t feel vulnerable in the face of authority\, especially when you’re young and female? Kalimamukwento’s characters face daunting odds while trying to do the right thing\, in a way that feels so familiar\, so compelling. So many of Mubanga Kalimamukwento’s characters are vulnerable\, conflicted\, wounded. Very few are evil or malevolent. Everyone can use a little help\, human or divine. We feel that obligation\, reading these stories.” – Charles Rammelkamp\, The Hopkins Review \n  \nJoin us for the latest iteration of Stories at the Station – light appetizers and a cash bar provided!
