Join the Ridgefield Library on Wednesday, January 11th from 7 to 8 pm for an Author Talk with Chris Belden who will discuss his just-released novel, Carry-On.
"From its first grimly hilarious scene in the economy cabin of a plane headed west, Carry-On takes us on an unforgettable journey through the shifting terrain of a marriage gone wrong. As Caleb struggles to understand what has become of him and his wife, we move through bars and cheap motels, through the stark beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and through intricate layers of memory to approach slowly, inexorably, the darkest regions of anger and love. A powerful novel that tightens like a net around an unsuspecting reader; you will not put it down." --Nalini Jones, author of What You Call Winter.
Chris Belden is a graduate of the Fairfield University MFA program. He has taught at Fairfield University, and currently teaches at the Ridgefield Continuing Education Program and the Garner Correctional Institution. He lives with his family in Ridgefield.
