Please join us at
Emerge CDA, an arts nonprofit in Couer d'Alene, Idaho, for a reading and conversation with novelist and songwriter,
Willy Vlautin. Willy will be in conversation with faculty member Jonathan Frey from
North Idaho College. Willy Vlautin's
bestselling novel,
The Horse, explores regret, addiction, and loneliness through the lens of a grizzled, aging musician. It won the Joyce Carol Oates prize and is regarded as one of his most personal works to date. His new novel
The Left and the Lucky examines how circumstances shape our lives, and how unexpected friendship can save lives. Thank you to EWU MFA Alum, Jonathan Frey, for putting this event together. This event is free and open to the public.
Thank you to North Idaho College for their partnership!
