<b>This Saturday, February 5, 3:00 pm (please come early as seating
is limited)<br><br>
</b>National Book Award winner <b>PETE DEXTER</b>, reads and discusses
his latest book, <b>Train</b>. <br>
<br>
A troubled, keenly intelligent kid with no particular interest in his own
prodigious talent for the game, he keeps his head down and his mouth shut
as he navigates his way between the careless hostility of his
"totes" and the explosive brutality of the other caddies.<br>
"<b>Train is another morally questioning, tough-guy novel...Dexter's
writing is a living thing. It doesn't draw attention to itself; it just
works."<br>
</b>-USA Today<br>
<br>
