Description
The John S. Lucas Great River Reading Series (GRRS) hosts Winona native and author Kevin Fenton. Fenton will read from his new novel Cyan Magenta Yellow Black published by Black Lawrence Press, 2025.
Kevin Fenton is the author of Merit Badges, which won the AWP Prize for the Novel and the Friends of the American Writers Award, and Leaving Rollingstone, which Patricia Hampl called “the most important memoir to come out of the Midwest (or anywhere) in years.” He works as an advertising writer and creative director; in that capacity, he’s published essays in the design quarterlies Émigré and Eye (London), the anthology Looking Closer 2: Critical Writing On Graphic Design, and the UX design blog Boxes and Arrows. He got a slightly better education than he deserved at Beloit College, the University of Minnesota Law School, and the University of Minnesota MFA program. He lives in St Paul with his wife Ellen and his greyhound Evie.
