Wausau: Wisconsin Author Holly Wilson

The Central Wisconsin Book Festival welcomes Wisconsin author Holly Wilson to the Marathon County Public Library in Wausau to discuss her debut novel, Kittentits.

Holly Wilson grew up in Kansas and now calls Wisconsin home, and she’s an associate professor of creative writing at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Her first novel, Kittentits, was published in May 2024. A surrealist and bold take on the American coming-of-age novel, the novel centers on 10-year-old Molly and incorporates the 1992 World’s Fair, a sweet pair of LA Gear Heatwave shoes, and potty mouths. Wilson will talk about the novel, answer audience questions and sign copies of her book.

Free and open to adults, no registration required. Call MCPL Wausau at 715-261-7230 for more information.
