Book reading
Brian Turner, celebrated author and director of Sierra Nevada College’s MFA program in creative writing, will read from his latest book, “My Life as a Foreign Country: A Memoir”, on Jan. 8 in Prim Library.
Turner has enjoyed tremendous national attention and accolades for his writing about his experiences of war).
Turner, who enlisted in the U.S. Infantry after earning his MFA from the University of Oregon, served in Bosnia-Herzegovina with the 10th Mountain Division and as an infantry team leader in Iraq with the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team. The book retraces his war experience — pre-deployment to combat zone, homecoming to aftermath – in an account which combines recollection with the imagination’s efforts to make reality comprehensible.
A reception begins at 6pm, reading at 7pm at the Incline Village college.
