Jennifer Egan’s new novel is A Visit from the Goon Squad, which was named one of The New York Times’ Top 10 books of 2010. The story "should cement Egan’s reputation as one of America’s best, and least predictable, literary novelists,” says The Daily Beast. The best selling author was a National Book Award finalist for her novel Look At Me, and her novel The Invisible Circus was made into a feature film starting Cameron Diaz. Egan’s short stories have appeared in The New Yorker, Harpers, Granta, McSweeney’s and other magazines, and her award-winning nonfiction articles appear frequently on the cover of the New York Times Magazine.

Peter Matthiessen is a novelist and nonfiction writer with a long career exploring vanishing cultures, oppressed people, and exotic wildlife and landscapes. He has been called “one of the shamans of literature,” and he won the 2008 National Book Award for his novel Shadow Country, the re-crafting of his “Watson” trilogy originally published in the 1990s. In the award-winning PBS documentary “Peter Matthiessen: No Boundaries” the author of more than 30 acclaimed books revealed that despite his immeasurable success in nonfiction accounts of expeditions, science and environmental activism, writing fiction is his true love.

Paula McLain met Hadley Richardson, Ernest Hemingway's first wife, in the pages of his classic memoir, A Moveable Feast. Engrossing herself in further research about the amorous pair, McLain found the reminiscences of Hadley so moving that it compelled her to “show us a side of Hemingway we've never seen before—tender, vulnerable, and very human.” In her New York Times bestselling novel The Paris Wife, McLain engrosses readers in the intoxicating 1920s Paris of the Lost Generation, and introduces us to the self-described Victorian woman who would forever influence Hemmingway’s craft.

The Village Voice calls Jim Shepard a “pointillist master of middle-American disaffection, second-shoe-dropping comic rhythm, pop-cult radiation, and the deceivingly unsimple art of inarticulation.” Shepard is the author of six novels and four story collections – including the newly published You Think That’s Bad, about which The New York Times raves: “If ventriloquism is a lost art, Mr. Shepard has found it. In these 13 short stories he shows he can move the lips of anyone.” Shepard’s third collection, Like You’d Understand, Anyway, was a finalist for the National Book Award and won The Story Prize.

Since winning the 2002 National Book Award for her debut novel, Three Junes, Julia Glass has published three more novels, including The Whole World Over, I See You Everywhere and The Widower’s Tale, published in 2010. Reviewers everywhere praise Glass’s ability to capture family life. Writing in The New York Times Book Review Maria Russo says, "Her families tend to reconstitute themselves into something solid and lasting only after traditional arrangements and expectations have been blown away by bad behavior and bad luck, by tragedies, rivalries and badly kept secrets that reverberate through the generations.” Photo Credit: Peter Ross |
"Literary Sojourn is the sort of weekend that helps you rediscover the echo of the written word. The mountain air, the readers, the volunteers, the sheer hospitality of the locals, and the overall sense of purpose all conspire to make it an important literary event. Seldom before have I seen a group of writers feel so at home with each other and their ideas. And never before have I seen readers open up to books in such a generous and inspiring manner."~Colum McCann
"It was lovely, great people, great event, wonderful fellow authors, and of course your incredible hospitality.” ~ Stewart O'Nan
“Thank you for such a wonderful event…for bringing together readers & writers so warmly and so intelligently.” ~ Ann-Marie MacDonald
"This is a deep, elegant, compassionate, smart, kind and wild event.” ~Natalie Goldberg
