Club Book Episode 93 Lorna Landvik

Minnesota’s own Lorna Landvik is a comedienne, actress, playwright, and prolific novelist. Her 1995 fiction debut, Patty Jane’s House of Curl – a zany but heartwarming story about two Minnesota sisters who open a beauty parlor, “complete with live harp music and Norwegian baked goods” – introduced readers to Landvik’s unique brand of humor. She has since published nearly a dozen other books, including bestsellers Welcome to the Great Mysterious (2002), Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons (2004), Oh My Stars (2008), Best to Laugh (2014), and Once in a Blue Moon Lodge (a long-awaited sequel to Patty Jane’s House of Curls). Her newest novel is Chronicles of a Radical Hag (with Recipes). In the fictional yet real-to-life town of Granite Creek, Minnesota, curmudgeonly but beloved newspaper columnist Haze Evans slips unexpectedly into a coma. In a scramble to fill the void, her editor republishes old articles – dredging up a host of memories for the denizens of Granite Creek in the process. In addition to her writing, Landvik is a regular in the local improv comedy scene, and has written and starred in several scripted plays.The post Club Book Episode 93 Lorna Landvik first appeared on Club Book.
