The author of the 2020 Door County Reads selection Virgil Wander traveled from Duluth, Minnesota to Door County for a talk Saturday afternoon. From the Sturgeon Bay Auditorium, Leif Enger talked about how writing is therapy and reading provides a sense of shelter. To drive his point home, Enger read from his book a passage about how the characters used illegal film screenings of old movies as an ark against their troubles. Earlier this week, Morgan Mann with the Door County Library said that although the characters are quirky, they resemble people you are acquainted with.

There are over two dozen remaining Door County Reads events tied in to this year’s selection.
