Author Reading with Robert Felde | Season for Tomatoes: A Journey Story

October 20, 2022

6-7pm

Join Decorah author Robert Felde for a discussion about his new book, Season for Tomatoes: A Journey Story at Dragonfly Books at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20.

Season for Tomatoes: A Journey Story tells the story of Elaine, a forced early retiree. Prompted by a missing neighbor girl, Elaine embarks on an ill-conceived, risky, and improbable quest-unwrapping layers of her malaise and a search for wholeness.

Tomatoes evokes the restless spirit of the movie Nomadland, while embracing unique characters such as: a runway Amish girl; a divorced salesman whose bedroom anxieties parallel Elaine’s; a babbling hairdresser with razor-sharp insights; a quirky, backwoods preacher with a troubled past; and an auto repair wizard who analyzes an owner’s relationship with their car before opening the hood.

It is a story of relationships, loss, risk taking, and hospitality.

Sponsored by Oneota Valley Literary Foundation in collaboration with Dragonfly Books.

Everyone is invited to this free event at Dragonfly Books, 112 W Water St, Decorah. on Thursday, October 20 at 6:00 p.m.  If you can’t make it to the event but would like to purchase Felde’s book, call Dragonfly Books at 563-382-4275;  one of our staff will be glad to reserve a book, have it autographed for you, and ship out as applicable.
