MidnightSun has brought award-winning author, Allen C. Jones, all the way from Norway for this book launch event. His debut novel, Her Death Was Also Water, has been called "unforgettable" by New York Times bestselling author Wiley Cash, and compared to Odysseus' perilous journey by MacArthur Genius Grant winner Stuart Dybek.
The book explores a post-apocalyptic world where toxic masculinity is trying to reassert itself, and a young woman must find the strength to come of age.
