Literature in the Courtyard 2022 is the first in a series of annual events endowed by Cotton Hanley. The Library Foundation is honored to feature award-winning author Tom McGuane in conversation with John Cleghorn for this inaugural event.
Tom’s impressive body of work includes ten novels, four short story collections, and three nonfiction works. He also wrote four screenplays: Rancho Deluxe, The Missouri Breaks, Tom Horn, and 92 in the Shade – which he also directed. In 2018, Tom released Cloudbursts, thirty-eight pieces of collected and new stories. The book was a Wall Street Journal “Ten Best Books of the Year” selection. In Tom’s fiction, original characters play out compelling human dramas against backdrops of vivid American landscapes.
His many honors include a Wallace Stegner Fellowship, election to the prestigious Academy of Arts and Letters, and a National Book Award nomination. In addition to his many literary accolades, he was also elected to the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame and the Fly Fishing Hall of Fame.
John Cleghorn retired as Chairman and CEO and a director of the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) in 2001. He is currently a director of the Atlantic Salmon Federation, Chancellor Emeritus of Wilfrid Laurier University, and Governor Emeritus of McGill University. John is a board member of the Johann Fust Library Foundation and served as president from 2019 to 2021. He is an avid reader, historian, and fly fisherman.
