An Evening with Aaron John Curtis

Meet Author Aaron John Curtis

We're thrilled to welcome Miami author Aaron John Curtis for a special event celebrating the paperback release of his debut novel Old School Indian, an astonishing coming-of-middle-age debut about an Ahkwesáhsne man’s reluctant return home. Old School Indian is a striking exploration of the resonance of love and family, culture and history.

About Aaron John Curtis

A mixed-race member of the Akwesasne Nation, Turtle Clan- half his mother’s Mohawk Indian (Kanien’kehá:ka) and half his father’s Scotch-Irish. He was born in Syracuse, NY and attended Syracuse University as a Musical Theater Major when the program was ranked third in the country (he was in a Minorities in Theater group with Taye Diggs and did lights for Vera Farmiga’s one-woman La Vie En Rose). After twenty years as an independent bookseller at Books & Books in Miami (and four years at Borders before), Curtis published his first novel, Old School Indian.
