Kerilynn Wilson, an award-winning author/illustrator, will be the first speaker for the Cannon Beach Library’s 2024-25 NW Authors Series. Her presentation will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7th, at the library or online. This is a free event; attend the talk at the library or watch online: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
Wilson is the winner of the 2024 Oregon Book Award for Graphic Literature for her novel, The Faint of Heart. “Living in a world where humans remove their hearts to avoid feeling pain, June is the only person left with a heart. When she finds a heart in a jar abandoned in an alley, June hopes to return her sister to normal with it and begins an unexpected adventure with a heartless boy who is somehow beginning to feel again.”
The Faint of Heart is Wilson’s debut graphic novel and has been described as vivid, ethereal, and haunting.
Wilson has a love of the weird and wonderful. She lives in Oregon City, Oregon, but her mind tends to wander to made up places in her head filled with flying jellyfish and birds that eat the stars. When she is not working she enjoys making bagels, crafting paper insect sculptures, and going on walks in the park with her two daughters and husband.
“Beautiful, tender, and relevant. Full of mystery, and not surprisingly, full of heart.”—Tillie Walden, award-winning author of Spinning
