Donna Mintz will discuss her new book, “Stars at Noon,” with Brent Martin at 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, at City Lights Bookstore in Sylva.
Blending essay, memoir and natural history with biography, “Stars at Noon” traces the author’s pilgrimage through a book — and a love letter to its author, James Agee, whose untimely death becomes the thread connecting it all. The work meditates on art, beauty, time and silence, exploring what is found and lost in both.
