Join critically acclaimed writer T. Geronimo Johnson, author of "Hold It 'Til It Hurts," and "Welcome to Braggsville," at November's Second Sunday.

Washington Post critic Ron Charles calls Johnson's new satirical novel "the most oh-my-god unsettling book of the year." A national bestseller and recently nominated for the National Book Award, "Welcome to Braggsville," is an "odyssey through Waffle Houses, evangelical churches and backyard barbecue’s."

Following Johnson's reading OSU-Cascades MFA Students will share works in progress. Established in 2013, the OSU-Cascades MFA incorporates instruction in the craft and profession of creative writing. Students each embark on a long-distance and individualized course of study with a faculty mentor and twice a year join fellow students for intensive 10-day residences of craft workshops, literature lectures and professional seminars. This year students have had the opportunity to work with Johnson.
