Brian Malloy is the author of The Year of Ice, Brendan Wolf, After Francesco, and the young adult novel Twelve Long Months. His work has been recognized by The New York Times, Oprah Daily, the Women’s National Book Association, and the American Library Association. His honors include the Minnesota Book Award, the Alex Award, the Bloomsday Award for Irish American Literature, and fellowships and grants from major literary organizations.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
