Author Galbraith Miller Crump will discuss and sign copies of his memoir A Slant of Light at the New Dominion Bookshop on Wednesday, June 24 at 12:15pm.

A Slant of Light chronicles the life and death of Crump’s wife, Joan Lee, from ovarian cancer. The book recounts their life together and the challenges he faces in coming to terms with her death. In writing he discovers the power of memory to provide solace.

“At the center is the enchanting figure of Joan, a woman who ignites each scene just as she provided light and life for her large and far-flung family. Galbraith Crump’s meditations on Joan and their life together are vivid and particular to be sure—and breathtakingly powerful—but they also evoke larger consideration of meaning and mortality that will touch any reader.”—David H. Lynn, Editor, The Kenyon Review
