Leif Enger, the acclaimed, bestselling author of Peace Like a River, reads from and discusses his new novel So Brave, Young, and Handsome, a touching, nimble, and rugged story of an aging train robber on a quest, and the failed writer who goes with him. With its smooth mix of romanticism and gritty reality, Enger’s novel often recalls the Old West’s greatest cowboy stories. But it is also about an ordinary man’s determination as he risks everything in order to understand what it’s all worth, and follows an unlikely dream in the hope it will lead him back home.
