He will be launching his book at the White Whale Bookstore on Thursday, October 3rd at 7 pm. \n\nSteffan delves into the personal and societal storms that shape our lives, exploring themes of grief, race, and queerness through the metaphor of weather and natural disasters. He discusses how his experiences growing up in Middle America inform the narrative, what secrets lie beneath its surface, and how we interpret both the literal and figurative forecasts of our past and future. \n\nVisit https://steffantriplett.com/ to learn more about Steffan and his work, and visit https://whitewhalebookstore.com/events to learn more about White Whale's book launches throughout the year.
