Chris Belden of Ridgefield will discuss his novel, "Carry-On" (Rain Mountain Press, $15) at The Ridgefield Library on Wednesday, January 11 beginning at 7pm. This event is co-sponsored by Books on the Common. "Carry-On" chronicles a marriage gone awry and a husband who is left alone and confused. Belden's fictional works have won him broad aclaim. He co-wrote the feature film "Amnesia" and the play "The Ballad of Larry the Flyer".
“From its first grimly hilarious scene in the economy cabin of a plane headed west, Carry-On takes us on an unforgettable journey through the shifting terrain of a marriage gone wrong. As Caleb struggles to understand what has become of him and his wife, we move through bars and cheap motels, through the stark beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and through intricate layers of memory to approach slowly, inexorably, the darkest regions of anger and love. A powerful novel that tightens like a net around an unsuspecting reader; you will not put it down.” --Nalini Jones, author of What You Call Winter.
