Author discussion: Liz Moore

Liz Moore will discuss her latest work, The God of the Woods, on Wednesday, Jan. 28 via digital live stream in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium.

Moore is the author of five novels, which include The Words of Every Song, Heft, The Unseen World, the New York Times bestselling Long Bright River, and The God of the Woods. She is also a winner of the 2014 Rome Prize in literature and lives in Philadelphia. She teaches in the MFA program in creative writing at Temple University.

The God of the Woods is a New York Times bestseller and one of NPR’s 2024 “Books We Love” highlights. The story begins in August 1975 when a camp counselor discovers Barbara Van Laar has gone missing, though she isn’t the first Van Laar child to have disappeared. Van Laar is the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents.

Registration for the author discussion is required. Those interested in attending should visit libraryc.org/alpenalibrarydemo/upcoming.
