Garret Keizer

Join local author Garret Keizer in celebrating the publication of his new book, Starting From Paterson, on Tuesday, June 16, at 7 p.m. at The Galaxy Bookshop. The essays collected in this book trace a path from the author’s Dutch-Protestant roots in a New Jersey factory town; through encounters with the people, events, and books that impacted his views on life and religion; to ruminations on how modern technology stymies human connection. Keizer’s deep interest in the people and world around him reveals itself through writing that contains both pointed insights and gentle humor.
