Reading on the country focus USA: this year we are again organizing a literary evening to match the country focus. The Vaternahm bookstore has kindly supported us in the selection of books. Armin Nufer, speaker and actor, will read from works by Castle Freeman and Anne Petry, among others. Castle Freeman is known for his books about rural New England and its inhabitants. Anne Petry was one of the first successful authors of African-American literature.
