Meet the Author: Jesse Thoeming
Advertisement
Discover the stories behind the stories in The History Center's Author Series. Join talented authors from Linn County and beyond as they share the inspiration behind their work, discuss their writing process, and explore the people, places, and experiences that shaped their books. Our Meet the Author Series is a unique opportunity to connect with local authors and the stories they bring to life.
Jesse Thoeming is a writer whose work explores the intersection of humanity, progress, and imagination. Originally from southern Illinois, where he grew up in the shadow of the Gateway Arch, he has lived and worked in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for over two decades. His essays and commentary have appeared in numerous local and regional publications, and his debut novel, The Brown Bottle Squeeze, earned praise for its narrative voice and depth of character. “God Bless You, Mr. Trump” marks the beginning of a bold speculative trilogy set in the near future.
When he’s not writing or traveling the country and world with his wife, Sarah, Jesse finds his balance on open-air trails—hiking, biking, and thinking deeply about where we’ve been—and where we might be going next.
Admission is $10.00 General Public, $8.00 Members
This program takes place at The History Center (800 2nd Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA)
Meet the Author series is sponsored by Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust.
