David Kerns reads from his new novel Fortnight on Maxwell Street. A young white medical student in 1968 Chicago steps into his own racial fears to care for a black family in grave danger, all while James Earl Ray plots the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. "David Kerns' Fortnight on Maxwell Street is a suspenseful medical odyssey that dances along a high wire of racial tension during a tragic and historic American moment."—James McManus, author of the NYT Bestseller Positively Fifth Street. David Kerns is a columnist and feature writer for the Napa Valley Register. Born in Chicago, he is a retired Stanford medical professor. His inspiration for Fortnight on Maxwell Street was his own work as a Northwestern medical student on Chicago’s West Side.
