Park Parent Eric Puchner’s Latest Novel Selected for Oprah Winfrey’s Book Club
Congratulations to Park parent Eric Puchner on the selection of his new novel, Dream State, as Oprah Winfrey’s latest Book Club pick!
Released this week, Dream State is Puchner’s fourth book. Largely based in Montana, the novel spans five decades and focuses on a love triangle between a future bride, her fiancé, and his best friend. It’s a fictional story initially inspired by a nightmarish wedding Puchner officiated, where attendees came down with norovirus.
Dream State is the 111th pick for Oprah’s Book Club, which she began in 1996. Puchner sat down with Oprah and discussed the novel — watch the interview here.
Puchner is an associate professor and Writing Seminars department chair at Johns Hopkins University. He is the parent of a Park student in the Class of 2028 and a Park alum in the Class of 2023.
