Asheville Authors You May Know: SARA GRUEN, Water for Elephants and A Must See Video on Sara's research for her latest book.
Rich in literary tradition, Asheville and the Western North Carolina mountains continue to attract and inspire today's celebrated authors. Yesterday, you might have met Thomas Wolfe, (Look Homeward Angel) as you passed by his cabin here. Or you may have run into F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Great Gatsby) on the grand porches of the Grove Park Inn. Carl Sandburg, one of my personal all-time favorite authors also lived near Asheville.
Together with the others, Sandburg helped establish a literary tradition that continues to this very day. And one of the most celebrated authors residing here in Asheville is best-selling author, SARA GRUEN.
Sara Gruen’s books are just wonderful reads. They are page-turners, for sure. And, in each, her love of and concern for the well-being of animals is evident.
This compassion for all creatures may be the underlying them that makes me determined to read all Sara’s books. I love exploring the healing spaces between all of us that Sara unearths in her books.
One of the most captivating of her books is Water for Elephants. And yes I do have a signed copy. Sara contacted me via Active Rain when she and her family decided to move to Asheville, and has graced me with her note in a copy of Water for Elephants.
But her new book took me to a place I had never been before…here in this MUST SEE VIDEO she is doing the research for that book, Ape House…that will knock your socks off! Think about this: We human beings dohave a very special connection with the Bonobo ape (SEEN IN THE VIDEO) with whom we are able to communicate and with whom we share 99.4% of our DNA.
