Joe Plut, retired Central Lakes College instructor, will sign copies of his book, “Conversations with Jon Hassler,” on Thursday, May 6 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Jon Hassler Library on the Brainerd campus. The book features interviews with his former CLC colleague, including numerous revelations on characters and symbolism from nine Hassler novels. The two friends spent many hours over a four-year period in conversations to shape the book. Jon Hassler, who died in 2008, began his writing career during 12 years on the Central Lakes College faculty before moving on to St. John’s University, Collegeville. The book signing at CLC marks the first of several such appearances for Plut, who was affectionately known as “the mad hugger” when he taught creative communication and appeared in People magazine. Refreshments will be served and autographed copies of the book will be available for sale.
