Book-readings are usually less about the book and more about the nerdy joy of meeting the author. But tonight at 7:30 at the Lincoln Theatre, you can get your literary rocks off with a dash of cultural theater thrown in for fun. Charles Frazier, best known for his best-selling and award-winning Civil War road novel Cold Mountain, will be reading from his new epic adventure story, Thirteen Moons. Like Cold Mountain, which told the story of a Confederate soldier who deserts the military to head home, Thirteen Moons is a nineteenth-century story of a man’s spiritual journey and its ties to the Indians of the Cherokee Nation.

The reading will be preceded by a flutist performing traditional Cherokee tunes, passages of the book will be read in the Cherokee tongue, and an academic who specializes in Cherokee literature will also be on hand.
