The Boston Public Library is pleased to host ERICA FERENCIK, author of The River at Night.
The River at Night is set against the harsh beauty of the Maine wilderness, charts the journey of four friends as they fight to survive the aftermath of a white water rafting accident. With intimately observed characters, visceral prose, and pacing as ruthless as the river itself, ERICA FERENCIK explores creatures both friend and foe.
ERICA FERENCIK has an MFA in creative writing from Boston University. Her work has appeared in Salon and the Boston Globe as well as on NPR.
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
