Event Details

Come hear Macalester alumnus and author Tim O’Brien ’68 read from his new novel, America Fantastica, a road trip story that Publishers Weekly describes as “more Mad Max than National Lampoon’s Vacation.” O’Brien describes it as “a moral tug-of-war.” Tim O’Brien won the National Book Award for Going After Cacciato, and The Things They Carried has sold 2 million copies worldwide. 

Wednesday, November 15
