Oregon Author at CBPL, Jan. 26

Coos Bay Public Library will be holding a FREE OREGON AUTHOR EVENT with award-winning author and accomplished musician, WILLY VLAUTIN of Scappoose, Oregon. Willy will probably read from his latest book, The Free, and its predecessor, Lean on Pete, soon to be a major motion picture starring Steve Buscemi and Chloe Sevigny. Event will be held on Thursday, January 26th at 7:00pm in the Myrtlewood Room at the Coos Bay Public Library and is open to all members of the public. In the words of Oregon’s own Ursula K. LeGuin, regarding Willy’s latest novel, The Free: “Willy Vlautin is one of the bravest novelists writing…it takes real courage to write a novel about ordinary good people… (he) tells us who really lives now in our America, our city in ruins.” Come and enjoy one of Oregon’s most underappreciated literary talents!
