Tom Trondson presents Sport & Leisure
About this Event

Sport & Leisure is a darkly comic novel set mostly on Madeline Island, Wisconsin, where a disgraced hockey coach and an ambitious Hollywood producer find their lives dangerously intertwined. As locals and outsiders clash during a hedonistic summer weekend, both men are forced to confront past traumas, shifting notions of masculinity, and their shared connection to the same woman.

Tom Trondson's debut novel, Moving in Stereo, was the winner of the American Writing Awards 2022 Sports Book of the Year. His work has been featured in , , and elsewhere.

He holds an MFA from Hamline University, where he's taught creative writing.

Twenty-five years ago, he left the corporate world to be a stay-at-home dad, something he wouldn't change for the world. He has lived in six states but now calls the lakes and woods of Minnesota his home.
