MPR and the Star Tribune are presenting a special Talking Volumes with Minnesota author, Leif Enger at the Sheldon Theatre in Red Wing on June 4. Join Kerri Miller as she talks to Enger about his new novel, "I Cheerfully Refuse."
“I Cheerfully Refuse” is the tale of a bereaved and pursued musician embarking under sail on a sentient Lake Superior in search of his departed, deeply beloved, bookselling wife. This latest work epitomizes the “musical, sometimes magical and deeply satisfying kind of storytelling” (Los Angeles Times) for which Leif Enger is cherished. A rollicking narrative in the most evocative of settings, this latest novel is a symphony against despair and a rallying cry for the future.
