William Kent Krueger is one of Minnesota’s preeminent writers. His 20th Cork O’Connor novel, out in August, “Spirit Crossing,” continuing the history of O’Connor and his family with sensitivity, pathos, and humanity, immediately jumped to the New York Times best-seller list.
His earlier standalone volume, released in 2023, “The River We Remember,” is almost spiritual as it steps back into post-WWII prejudices and challenges of a small Minnesota community.
Kent discussed his background, his writing method, and his latest book, to be released next summer.
