Join C.M. Kushins at the library to hear him talk about famed Michigan author, Elmore Leonard and his own award-winning book, “Cooler Than Cool: the Life and Works of Elmore Leonard.” Leonard’s books were innovative in their blending of a Hemingway-inspired noirish minimalism and a masterful use of realistic dialogue. The true motivation and brilliance behind his crime writing was the ongoing class struggle to achieve the American Dream. C.M. Kushins shows how Leonard became one of the most successful storytellers of the 20th century. Author book signing will be available afterward. For adults 18 and older.
