The Fayetteville Public Library welcomes book clubs across Northwest Arkansas and all members of the interested public to our 20th annual Gathering of the Groups!
This year author Eli Cranor will sit down with KUAF's Kyle Kellams for a book discussion in the Fayetteville Public Library's Walker Community Room on April 5th at 2:00 p.m.
A book signing will follow and Pearl's Books will offer books for sale.
Eli Cranor is a native Arkansan. He is the Writer in Residence at Arkansas Tech University, and his newspaper column "Where I'm Writing From" appears weekly in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. His debut novel, Don't Know Tough, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. It was followed by Ozark Dogs, which was named one of the best crime novels of 2023 by the New York Times and The Guardian, and Broiler, which was named an Amazon Editors' Best Book of 2024. His latest novel, Mississippi Blue 42, debuts in August of 2025.
Broiler explores the troubles of two families, both taking desperate measures to gain a higher economic foothold, in the underworld of an Arkansas chicken processing plant.
All abilities are welcome. For disability accommodations, call 479.856.7250 or email [email protected] 2-3 weekdays before a program. Registration is encouraged, but not required. Learn more and register your interest at https://www.faylib.org/event/13089300!
