The short story may be the most finely-tuned (and hard-to-master-) literary medium. New York Times Best Selling authors are dime-a-dozen compared to short story masters like Bonnie Jo Campbell, whose highly-acclaimed book, American Salvage, was a 2009 National Book Award in Fiction finalist. Think of her as Kalamazoo, Michigan's successor to Raymond Carver. Campbell will discuss her work at the Mainstage Theatre, and impart her literary wisdom to Owens Students and visitors.
