CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS TALK & MEMOIR SIGNING WITH JOSEPH MAIOLO

"This is an absorbing and frightening account of one man's experience on the frontline of the Cuban missile crisis...Rarely do we get such detailed testimony from those who might actually turn the keys that would end civilization as we know it. What sometimes feels like an impossible, long ago nightmare from fifty years ago is made terrifyingly real by Maiolo's precise narrative."--Tim O'Brien

Maiolo teaches literature and fiction writing at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Several of his stories and a novella have won national awards, including a Pushcart Prize, two National Endowment for the Arts Literary Fellowships, and three PEN/Syndicated Fiction Awards.
