Kevin Kling ’79 returns to St. Peter on Friday, Nov. 20, to share his holiday stories. He will be chatting and signing his new book, Holiday Inn, at the St. Peter Public Library from 4-5 p.m., then will give a free public presentation at 7 p.m. in Bjorling Recital Hall at Gustavus. Kling, a playwright, author, and storyteller, is well known for his humor and insight, often shared with a wide audience through stories told on National Public Radio. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, “Kling has an enviable gift for storytelling, a sense of humor rooted equally in pain and whimsy… and an uncanny ability to transform intensely personal memories, especially those of family life, into something instantly recognizable and, at the same time, strangely exalted.” This special holiday treat is brought to you by St. Peter Reads and the Friends of the St. Peter Public Library.
