Author Liggett to talk about ‘Watermelon Snow’
At 3 p.m. Saturday, July 15, Bill Liggett — author of the book “Watermelon Snow” — will present a free, illustrated talk about his time living on the Blue Glacier at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center auditorium, 3002 Mount Angeles Road in Port Angeles. After the presentation, Liggett will read passages from his novel, which he describes as “cli-fi” or climate fiction. Although the novel is fiction, it is inspired by his personal experiences conducting research and living on the Blue Glacier in 1963.
The author will be available to autograph copies of the book following the program. Copies of the book will be available for purchase in the Olympic National Park Visitor Center bookstore.
