Chuckanut Radio Hour with Special Guest Garth Stein, A Sudden Light

Our special guest this month is author Garth Stein, who wrote The Art of Racing in the Rain, discussing his book, A Sudden Light, a rich, atmospheric work that is at once a multi-generational family saga, a historical novel, a ghost story, and the story of a contemporary family's struggle for forgiveness and redemption. Once again, New York Times bestselling author Garth Stein dazzles with his keen insight into human nature and motivation, his empathy for human endurance in the face of difficulties, failures, and tragedy, and his rare ability to see the unseen: the invisible thread binding us all together.

The Chuckanut Radio Hour, a recipient of Bellingham's prestigious Mayor's Arts Award, is a radio variety show that began in January 2007. Each Chuckanut Radio Hour features a guest author and includes guest musicians, performance poet Kevin Murphy, Cascadia Weekly columnist Alan Rhodes, an episode of "The Bellingham Bean" serial radio comedy, and some groaner jokes by hosts Chuck & Dee Robinson and announcer Rich Donnelly. The Chuckanut Radio Hour's first guest was Erik Larson and has since included Alexander McCall Smith, Elizabeth George, Cheryl Strayed, Sherman Alexie, Tom Robbins and Garrison Keillor, among many others. The Radio Hour airs every Saturday evening at 6pm and Sunday at 9pm on SPARK RADIO, KMRE 102.3FM.

Tickets for the Chuckanut Radio Hour are $5 and are also available at Village Books. Doors open at 6:30pm, and you must be seated by 6:45pm as the show begins promptly at 7pm. Co-sponsored by Whatcom Community College Foundation, 12th Street Shoes, and Westside Pizza.
