You’ve listened to her on WPR for years. You’ve probably heard her speak in front of large groups. On Saturday, March 29th at 6 p.m., The Reader's Loft will be hosting an Intimate Conversation with Jean Feraca.
Everyone is welcome, free of charge, to join us as Feraca reads from her new book, I Hear Voices: A Memoir of Love, Death and the Radio. In I Hear Voices, Feraca gives full flavor to the eccentric paths her life has taken and to the host we all know and love from Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders.
This exciting evening at The Reader’s Loft will go into the book, and we are sure, beyond it as Feraca shares more of her own story.
Beverages and Hors d’ouevres will be served.
Jean Feraca, Wisconsin Public Radio’s Distinguished Senior Broadcaster, is host and executive producer of Here on Earth: Radio without Borders. Feraca has received several honors including the Nation’s Discovery Award and two Hopwood Awards. Recipient of an Ohio State and Gabriel Award for her Women of Spirit radio series on female leaders in the early Christian Church, she also received the National Telemedia Council’s Distinguished Media Award for her radio advocacy of people with mental illness. A resident of Madison, Wisconsin, she is the author of three collections of poetry: South from Rome: Il Mezzogiorno, Crossing the Great Divide and Rendered into Paradise.

The Ghost Mountain Boys by James Campbell
Opening with a montage of soldier’s letters home from the front, James Campbell immediately captures his narrative tone. The Ghost Mountain Boys is very much about the men and their personal experiences. He introduces many of the key players the same way novelists introduce their characters.

Lost Echoes by Joe R. Lansdale
My mystery pick this time around is Lost Echoes by Joe R. Lansdale (Vintage Crime). Mr. Lansdale is a six-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award. His praises also include the British Fantasy Award, American Mystery Award and the 2001 Edgar Award for best novel from the Mystery Writers of America. I’m almost embarrassed this superior author has thus far escaped my attention. What a discovery!

Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
Loving Frank by Nancy Horan (Ballantine Books) is a debut novel with a very different sensibility. This fictional account of the relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney crosses genre lines. Young 20th Century America was scandalized by the affair between Wright and Cheney. While much is known and documented about Frank Lloyd Wright, almost all of Mamah Cheney’s personal effects were lost in the fire that horrified this same young America.

Peony in Love by Lisa See
Peony In Love might be getting short shrift by some reviewers, but I contend that it is a better book than Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. I could go on for a full page discoursing about why, but let’s talk about the book instead.
