Book Reading with Greg Sarris: "The Forgetters"

Join us for an evening with local author Greg Sarris and enjoy stories from his newest book, The Forgetters.

Told in the classic style of Southern Pomo and Coast Miwok creation stories, this book vaults from the sacred time before this time to the recent present and even the near future. Heralded as a “a fine storyteller” by Joy Harjo, Greg Sarris offers us these tales in a new genre of his own making. The Forgetters is an astonishment—comforting and startling, inspiring reveries and deepening our love of the world we share.
