Mary Kay Zuravleff, author of American Ending

Join author Mary Kay Zuravleff, author of American Ending, for a reading and discussion of her newest novel on August 21 and a writing workshop on August 22. The first 25 people to register for either event will receive a free copy of American Ending. Both events are free of charge, thanks to a generous grant from the Michigan Arts and Humanities Council.

About the Author:

Award-winning author Mary Kay Zuravleff has published four novels. Her most recent, American Ending, was an Oprah Spring Book pick and a finalist for the Langum Prize for American Historical Fiction. That book was inspired by both sets of her grandparents, Russian Orthodox Old Believers who lived in an Appalachian coal-mining town, and especially by her paternal grandmother, who was born in America and lost her citizenship for marrying her Russian-born spouse. She taught graduate students at numerous universities and has had the pleasure of teaching fiction workshops at Chautauqua, Key West, and Interlochen. 


This program is made possible in part by support from the Michigan Humanities Council.
