Author Ron Currie to read from his new book at Waterville library March 21

WATERVILLE — Join us at the Waterville Public Library at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 21, to hear author Ron Currie Jr. read from his fourth book due out in March: “The One-Eyed Man.” This event is free, and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.

Books will be available for purchase at the event from Children’s Book Cellar.

According to author Richard Russo, “Nobody writing today walks the knife edge of cynicism and sentiment more bravely, intelligently and confidently than Ron Currie. By turns hilarious and heartfelt, ‘The One-Eyed Man’ is a revelation, a wonder.” Born and raised in Waterville, Currie is the author of the novels “Everything Matters!” and “Flimsy Little Plastic Miracles” and the short story collection “God is Dead,” which was the winner of the New York Public Library’s Young Lions Award. In 2009, he received the Addison M. Metcalf Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His books have been translated into 15 languages. He currently lives in Portland.
