This month’s Storytelling @ the Kerouac House will be on Saturday 06/27 from 7-9 pm featuring distinguished local author and storyteller Jim Kissane. The opener will be Darrell Nicholson, and our own in-house storyteller extraordinaire Victoria Dym will emcee and also tell.
Jim Kissane is an historical author, oral storyteller, and the Executive Director of Suncoast Storytellers, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing America’s industrial and community heritage. Drawing on a lifetime of personal experience connected to the nation’s primary industries, steel, railroads, manufacturing, construction, and agriculture, Jim brings authenticity and depth to every story he tells. Based in Lutz, Florida, he focuses on the voices of everyday people whose labor built America, transforming history into vivid, human-centered narrative. He is the author of five published books that explore the grit, innovation, and resilience of America’s working communities. Through live performance, workshops, and digital storytelling, Jim connects past and present, inspiring others to discover and share their own stories.
