Join author Erika Grundmann for a slideshow, reading and discussion at Stillwater Books on Saturday, November 21 at 1:30pm about George Dibbern, described at georgedibbern.com as a ”controversial, free-spirited vagabond, visionary sailor-philosopher, author of Quest, friend of American writer Henry Miller…”
Dark Sun is Grundmann’s biography of German-born Georg Johann Dibbern.
Dibbern’s book Quest is his compelling account of breaking free from the constraints of society and from the beginnings of Nazism. It was first published in 1941 in the US and England.
Both books will be available for purchase – perfect gifts for the adventurer on your Christmas list.
Stillwater Books and Art is at 1260 Shoppers Row, beside Photo Tech. Call them at 250-850-3103 or drop an email to info@stillwaterbooksandarts.ca. Check out www.georgedibbern.com for more on Dibbern.
