“Sculptor of the North” by Doug Petersen was displayed at the 2024 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) – Book Gallery
“Sculptor of the North” by Doug Petersen was among the books displayed by Author Reputation Press during the 2024 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) at the University of Southern California on April 20–21, 2024.
The LATFOB is considered to be one of the world’s most significant literary gatherings. It has been held every year since 1996 with the goal of bringing together the people who create books and the people who love to read them. It is attended by more than 550 authors, celebrities, storytellers, and hundreds of exhibitors.
The Los Angeles Times is the country’s biggest metropolitan daily newspaper, with more than 40 million unique latimes.com visitors monthly, a Sunday print readership of 1.6 million, and a combined print and online local weekly viewership of 4.4 million. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Times has been covering Southern California for more than 140 years.
Author Reputation Press once again showcased some of its amazing books in a wide selection of genres in this year’s LATFOB. This book gallery aims to connect readers and authors by exposing it at an event attended by audiences around the globe.
Doug Petersen went through ups and downs in life. He currently lives in Richfield, Minnesota, a southern suburb of Minneapolis. At an early age, he was already good at reading and writing, thanks to his mother, who encouraged him and his ambitious ways. He attended the University of Minnesota from 1970 to 1973.
“Sculptor of the North” is a story of hope and determination. He didn’t give up on his life, despite how hard it was and how chaotic it could be. He may have had one of the most difficult lives after his house burned down, and he needs to start over again. After so many years of living homeless in the woods, he was able to achieve his dream, and he became a sculptor.
This compelling narrative was highly praised by Mari Carlson of the US Review of Books, acknowledging that “Instead of people, Peterson interacts with the woodlands around him, noting the colors, sounds, and sights of his surroundings. Peterson fills out the narrative with colorful descriptions of his cat and neighbors. The resulting tone is of a stoic acceptance of change and gratitude for his companions along the way. An epilogue, photos, and a postscript suggest an ongoing metamorphosis. A sequel is promised.”
Moreover, this masterpiece was displayed by ARP during the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023 at Frankfurt, Germany, on October 18-22, 2023. It is reportedly known as the world’s largest trade fair for books.
