David Guterson, author of 13 books including “Snow Falling on Cedars,” reads from his new novel, “Evelyn in Transit,” about a bored misfit who hitchhikes across the American West taking odd jobs – and whose life is strangely linked with a boy raised as a Buddhist monk in the mountains of Tibet who eventually becomes a high lama. One day a trio of Buddhist lamas show up at Evelyn’s door to announce that her 5-year-old son is the seventh reincarnation of the illustrious Norbu Rinpoche, recently deceased. Guterson will be joined in conversation by Emerson professor and author Steve Yarbrough.
