A son takes his aging father on a boat tour to an island of puffins. A woman distracts herself with a radio host. A couple meets cute and traverses the emotional minefield of a family wedding. A young zookeeper bonds with an elephant in wartime.
Also, Schlitterbahn.
Austin authors and friends Elizabeth McCracken and S. Kirk Walsh have much to draw on as they chat about their new books Wednesday virtually via BookPeople.
McCracken’s collection of short stories, “The Souvenir Museum” (Ecco/HarperCollins, $26.99), is her seventh book, following the critically acclaimed 2019 novel “Bowlaway.” Walsh’s debut, “The Elephant of Belfast” (Counterpoint, $27), is historical fiction inspired by a World War II-era zookeeper.
