Prairie Lights

Ice Cube Press presents Sandy Moffett, Emeritus Professor of Theatre at Grinnell College, who will read from his new novel, The Ghost of Craven Snuggs.  “The Ghost of Craven Snuggs is a compelling, cinematic novel that understands that mind-boggling weirdness often goes hand-in-hand with ‘Midwestern nice.’ In the tradition of greats like Carl Hiaasen and Elmore Leonard, Moffett combines his love of a place with a keen eye for the strange and the beautiful, bringing us a cast of unforgettable characters” -Dean Bakopoulos

Sandy Moffett has taught at Grinnell since 1971 and continues to teach and direct plays on occasion, serving as a utility infielder for his department. An ardent outdoorsman and conservationist, he spends most of his time restoring prairie on his small farm, writing songs and stories, playing guitar and mandolin in The Too Many String Band, and catering to the whims of his three grandchildren. His writing has appeared in The Wapsipinicon Almanac, Rootstalk, and Saltwater Sportsman.
