A Place of Thin Veil: Book Talk & Signing

Join OFPL and Guest Author, Bob Rosebrough
Main Library on April 27th beginning at 5:00 PM.

“The veil between the material and spiritual worlds is thinner and more permeable in Gallup, New Mexico. It is a place that is disproportionately and simultaneously wonderful and terrible. A reservation border-town with a remarkably diverse citizenry, Gallup started out as a railroading and coal mining community with an alcohol-soaked, violent history. It is a place of
constant struggle where the forces of good and evil are joined in combat and where each resident faces their own inner struggles. This book isn’t just for Gallupians or New Mexicans; it is both a memoir and history about real people facing Goliath struggles.”

Main Library, 115 West Hill Ave.

April 27th at 5:00 PM
