Tompkins
County Public Library will host Lamar Herrin for a reading and signing of his
timely novel, “Fractures,” March 27 at 6 p.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.
An environmental novel set in a town with recognizable similarities to Ithaca, “Fractures” provides an often overlooked humanity to the scientific issue of fracking.
“Fractures” explores, through the intricately-presented, fictional Joyner family, the connections and conflicts innate to those faced with selling family land to natural gas companies for the purposes of drilling. The book has received praise from The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Booklist and Library Journal.
Herrin, a Cornell University professor emeritus, has received numerous awards and honors for his teaching and writing. He has published several novels, stories and memoirs.
This program is free and open to the public. Copies of “Fractures” will be available for purchase courtesy of Buffalo Street Books.
For more information, contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at (607) 272-4557 extension 248 or cwheeler@tcpl.org.
