One Book One New Paltz 2009

In anticipation of the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's first contact in North America and his sailing up the Hudson River, the committee decided that the book selection for the 2009 One Book One New Paltz will focus on the region, its character, history, or cultural significance. Community members are welcome to suggest possibilities by writing to onebook@newpaltz.edu

How about Russell Banks? He has novels set in northern New York - the Plattsburgh area. Maybe too far north.

How about "Ironweed" by William Kennedy? Set in Albany, as are all of his books. There is a movie. He teaches at the University at Albany. http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/wjkennedybio.html
