Prairie Lights and the Englert Theatre present Erik Larson, who will talk about his nonfiction thriller, The Demon of Unrest which brings to life the pivotal five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War. Described by Publishers Weekly as “Twisty and cinematic . . . A mesmerizing and disconcerting look at an era when consensus dissolved into deadly polarization,” The Demon of Unrest is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, and a PARADE Best Book of the Year.
Erik Larson is the author of six previous national bestsellers—The Splendid and the Vile, Dead Wake, In the Garden of Beasts, Thunderstruck, The Devil in the White City, and Isaac’s Storm—which have collectively sold more than ten million copies. His books have been published in nearly twenty countries.
