Thursday, September 26th @ 7 pm
Review & Discussion of Salvation by Kurt Corriher.  Dr. Corriher, professor of modern foreign languages at Catawba College, will discuss the creative process he used with Someone to Kill, and with Salvation.  A writer and stage actor, his approach to the mystique of creativity is uniquely his own and fascinating to hear.  Salvation departs from the international intrigue of Corriher's first novel and takes the reader down river on a tightly woven adventure starting in the NC mountains in 1941, ending on the coast in a hurricane.  The novel is a full-blooded tale of family, love, and murder tossed with revenge and no little redemption.  Salvation is, indeed, what all the characters seek.
