Join us in the Readings Gallery to welcome Seattle author Thomas Kohnstamm in conversation with Dane Bahr for Kohnstamm's newest book, Supersonic! The novel traces their false starts, triumphs, and heartbreaks through the booms and busts of the Yukon gold rush, the jet age, Big Tech, and beyond. By exploring the converging and often clashing personalities that make up the dynamic soul of a place, Supersonic illuminates themes of identity, displacement, destruction, and reinvention that give rise to all great American cities.
Thomas Kohnstamm was born and raised in Seattle and still lives in the same house he grew up in—now with his wife and two children. He's a career-long freelance writer and has run his own video and animation studio for over a decade. Supersonic is his third book. Dane Bahr was born in Minnesota. He is the author of The Houseboat and Stag. He lives in Washington State with his wife and dog, watching his sons and orchard grow.
