Author Emily Fridlund will sign and discuss her debut novel, “History of Wolves.”

Fourteen-year-old Linda lives with her parents in the beautiful, austere woods of northern Minnesota, where their nearly abandoned commune stands as a last vestige of a lost counter-culture world. Isolated at home and an outlander at school, Linda is drawn to the enigmatic, attractive Lily and new history teacher Mr. Grierson. As she struggles to find a way out of the sequestered world into which she was born, Linda confronts the life-and-death consequences of the things people do—and fail to do—for the people they love. One of the most daring literary debuts of the season, “History of Wolves” is a profound and propulsive novel from an urgent, new voice in American fiction.

This event is free and open to the public, but proof of purchase of “History of Wolves” from Left Bank Books will be required to enter the signing line.
