John Teschner Presents Project Namahana

Zenith Bookstore hosts this in-store author event with John Teschner, who will present his debut novel Project Namahana.

Project Namahana takes readers from Midwestern, glass-walled, corporate offices over the Pacific and across the island of Kauai; from seemingly idyllic beaches and mountainous inland jungles to the face of Mount Namahana; all the while, exploring the question of how corporate executives could be responsible for evil things without, presumably, being evil themselves.

John Teschner was born in Rhode Island and grew up in southern Virginia. He has worked as a newspaper reporter, professional mover, teacher and nonprofit grant writer. He served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya and rode a bike across the United States. He spent seven years living on the island of Kauai with his wife and two boys, where he helped lead Hui O Mana Ka Pu’uwai outrigger canoe club and became a competitive canoe racer. He now lives in Duluth where he is learning how to stay upright on cross-country skis.

Proof of Covid-19 vaccination is required to attend this event, as is the wearing of face masks over nose and mouth.
