DESCRIPTION:We welcome local author Mike Conklin to Lake Forest Book Store to discuss his newest book.\n\nTRANSFER U\n\n \n\nThursday\, April 11\, 2019 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM\n\nat Lake Forest Book Store\n\nBooks available for purchase and signing\n\nRefreshments will be served.\n\nRegister at 847-234-4420\n\nTransfer U.: Bogus scholarships\, China\, provincial faculty\, Oklahoma earthquake\, immigration\, cowboys\, and a motorcycle gang. It's a mix of academia and basketball in America like you've never seen. One team\, from a sleepy Midwestern college named for the most inconsequential president in U.S. history\, features an all-Chinese lineup concerned over lack of library time. The other\, from a school better known for a rodeo program\, includes players from a Texas prison\, U.S. Special Forces\, East LA\, St. Louis YMCA\, and a 7-footer discovered by its scheming coach in a McDonald's line in Murdo\, S.D. It's East vs. West with showdowns in Chicago\, on and off the court\, and a national title at stake  \n\nMike Conklin is a story teller. Mike's gathered stories in a media career that started on a small-town weekly\, graduated to local dailies\, and made a long stop at The Chicago Tribune. There\, he was a beat reporter\, daily columnist\, and feature writer with his work nationally syndicated. He's also written for the New York Times\, a variety of magazines\, reviewed books\, and\, after leaving The Tribune\, taught communications and writing full-time at DePaul University.
