Special Monday Program: National Book Award Winner!

Author Jaimy Gordon will be at the Ohio County Public Library for a special Monday edition of Lunch With Books on March 21 at noon. Gordon will discuss her new National Book Award winning novel, Lord of Misrule. Set at Indian Mound Downs, a fictional horse racing track south of Wheeling, the book explores the ruthless and often violent world of cheap horse racing. Lord of Misrule has been called “a vivid, memorable and linguistically rich novel." A Baltimore native, Gordon now lives in Michigan and has family in the Ohio Valley, which she describes as “a kind of second home - the rags of fog from the river, the fragile, chocolaty earth and red dust and the close-packed hills.” She has written three previous novels. Copies of Lord of Misrule will be available from Words & Music, Wheeling’s Fiercely Independent Bookstore. Lunch With Books programs are free and open to the public. Patrons are invited to bring a bag lunch and free beverages are provided. Please call the library at 304-232-0244 for more information.
