Growing up in Osakis, Minnesota, Leif Enger worked for Minnesota Public Radio before writing his best selling debut novel, Peace Like a River, which won the book sense Award for Fiction and was named one of the year’s best books by Time Magazine and the Los Angeles Times for 2001.
In this episode of The First Fifty Pages, Kelsey and Jenn talk with Leif Enger to chat about his latest book, I Cheerfully Refuse. Part romance, part nautical adventure, part love letter to stories, this sweetly hopeful piece of dystopian fiction has it all! You’ll cheerfully refuse to put this one down!
