Gary Eldon Peter to Lead the Friends of the St. Paul Library's Fireside Chat Feb. 6

   Gary Eldon Peter, author, Oranges, has been invited to present at the St. Paul Library's Fireside Reading Series on Wed., Feb. 6. The event begins at 7 p.m. and will take place at the Hamline Midway Library in St. Paul.
   The Fireside Reading Series, one of The Friends of the St. Paul Library's oldest and most popular events, annually highlights the work of some of Minnesota’s finest writers, who have published a new work in the previous year. Programs are accompanied by coffee, cider, cookies, and book signings. American Sign Language interpretation will be provided.
   In addition to discussing his story, Gary Eldon Peter will talk about what home means to him. Oranges, winner of the 2016 New Rivers Press Many Voices Project competition in prose, is the author's debut short story collection. It traverses the life of Michael, a gay man from the Midwest who must find his own confusing path to adulthood after personal loss. Michael is confronted with a number of challenges, including coming to terms with his sexuality in the age of AIDS, facing his family’s difficulties accepting him, dealing with the death of his mother and the aging of his father, and starting over after losing a partner. Novelistic in scope, Oranges is about the never-ending search for connection, validation, intimacy, and, above all, love.
   The book is getting rave reviews, including this one published in the Jan. 18 edition of the Star Tribune newspaper.
   Congratulations Gary!
