Common Good Bookstore hosted the launch publication reading of THE ART OF THE WASTED DAY by Patricia Hampl in St. Paul.
Nearly 250 readers braved a historic April 16/18 blizzard to attend the event which took place at Weyerhaeuser Memorial Chapel of Macalester College. Her agent Marly Rusoff, who nearly thirty years ago served as a bridesmaid at Hampl’s wedding to her late husband Terrence William, to whom the book is dedicated, flew in from NY to introduce Hampl to those gathered.
