FRIDAY NIGHT LECTURE SERIES
Echoes of The Kalevala in the Novel Deep River

March 5, 2021, 7:30 PM
Doors open at 7:15 PM

Karl Marlantes' presentation will draw parallels between his novel Deep River and the Kalevala epic.

Just as the Kalevala is about the emergence of culture in Finland, so is Deep River about the pioneering struggles of Finnish immigrants in the early 20th century in the logging communities of southern Washington near the mouth of the Columbia River. The novel’s characters are echoes of the Kalevala characters.
