The Missouri State Museum will host a program highlighting Missouri authors Evan S. Connell and Daniel Woodrell as part of its ongoing "Landing After Hours" series at 7 p.m. Dec. 2.
Connell's novels "Mrs. Bridge" and "Mr. Bridge" focus on the early history of the Country Club Plaza district in Kansas City, while Woodrell's novels "Winter's Bone," "Tomato Red" and "Woe to Live On" offer a perspective of survival in the Ozarks, according to information from the museum.
Those who attend this event will learn how these "masters of fiction have shaped Missouri's modern identity," according to a museum news release.
The Missouri State Museum's "Landing After Hours" events are held the first Wednesday of each month. Programs are held in the Lohman Building at Jefferson Landing State Historic Site, 100 Jefferson St. in Jefferson City. Doors to the historic site will open at 6 p.m. and the program will begin at 7 p.m. Participants should come early and enter the doors on the railroad track side of the building. The program will be in the first-floor classroom, accessible from the south entrance door. Parking is available in the lot next to the Lohman Building.
Those who plan to attend are encouraged to follow social-distancing guidelines and come prepared with hand sanitizer and bottled water. Face coverings are encouraged.
