Cutting for Stone

Writer  A.Verghese
Author of Cutting for Stone
At ease in St. Paul.


 Last night Abraham Verghese entertained a  sold-out crowd of 1,000 literature lovers at the Fitzgerald Theatre in Saint Paul.   Talking Volumes is a partnership of Minnesota Public Radio  and the Star Tribune newspaper in collaboration with the Loft Literary Center, which schedules notable writers to be interviewed on stage by Kerri Miller at a popular and well-attended literary series.

Few people combine a career as physician, professor and author as well as Abraham Verghese, who has been on theNew York Times bestseller list with all three of his books, including his most recent, Cuttting for Stone.

It was a highly entertaining evening with a personable and remarkably gifted man.  Go here to read his biography.

  5. I'm sure it was really interesting.

    P.S. My mother's heart condition seems to be controlled now and, finally, she left the hospital yesterday. Thank you for your care, Kate. Hopefully I can blog on a normal daily basis from now on again.
