Eric Dregni teaches creative writing at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Italian at Hamline University and at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of several books, including Minnesota Marvels (Minnesota, 2001) and Midwest Marvels (Minnesota, 2006).

“Eric Dregni’s spirited travel memoir to Norway joins that classic American genre-the quest tale in search of family and ethnic roots. It’s a special pleasure to see the Scandinavian immigration story teased out here with wit and acuity, the immigrant going the other way. In Cod We Trust is the story of a man not only looking for his family past but welcoming the next generation.” -Patricia Hampl
