Date

Sena Jeter Naslund

Flora Naslund Schildknecht

Sena Jeter Naslund and Flora Naslund Schildknecht are a mother and daughter with a shared passion for writing. They will speak in the Library Loggia on December 5, 2019 at 4 pm.

Ms. Schildknecht has published fiction in The Louisville Review, 2nd & Church, The Chaffin Journal, and Sisyphus. Her work has been nominated twice for the Pushcart prize. She earned an MFA from Spalding University, where she studied fiction and screenwriting. She will read from her debut collection Megafauna: Stories and Screenplay. 

Megafauna

The bold and incisive characters of Flora K. Schildknecht’s debut collection confront existential dilemmas at abed-rock level. From a child who longs to know if there is a moral order to the universe, to a ninety-year old man about to be removed from his prairie home as he recalls a violent and cruel boyhood, these stories vivify their subjects but also spotlight corners of the reader’s own psyche with a terrifying brightness. 

The collection begins and ends with stories of young females encountering and hoping to triumph over the worlds they have inherited. They will break your heart in utterly different ways, and you will come away vowing to be a more perceptive and compassionate person, at home and abroad.

Sena Jeter Naslund is the bestselling author of several novels, including Ahab’s Wife, Abundance, Four Spirits, The Fountain of Saint James Court and Adam and Eve. She will read from her work in progress: Wreath, a Novel of American Civil War and Peace. Ms. Naslund has spoken at the Johann Fust Library many times. The Library Foundation is honored to have her back.
