Local author Shann Ray will be reading at Gonzaga tonight at 7:30 p.m. Ray will also be reading during this year's Get Lit! Festival at the Pie & Whiskey event on April 12, and he'll be participating in HooPalousa on April 9.
Ray's collection American Masculine was named by Esquire as one of Three Books Every Man Should Read. It has won the Best Book of 2011, Best Short Story Collection of 2011, Editor's Choice from Kirkus Reviews, along with the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference Bakeless Prize. American Masculine has been called a book of "grace" and "astonishing power," "prophetic," "lyrical," and "fiercely written," forming a "true and pure depiction of sorrow and primer for forgiveness."
