    Sunriver Books & Music July 2018 Newsletter Sunriverbooks.com 541-593-2525 Craig Johnson Depth of Winter Walt Longmire September 9th, sign up to attend Saturday July 7 at 5:00 PM Keith McCafferty returns for A Death in Eden. His Montana mysteries feature Sherriff Martha Ettinger, Sean Stranahan, and Harold Little Feather among a cast of other characters. They are all great to spend time with, but Harold Little Feather is a particularly appealing character and he has the lead in this edge of your seat story. Harold recent- ly left his post as one of Martha’s deputies to accept a position as a detec- tive with the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation. He just came off of an undercover investigation involving some reprehensible men poaching bear to sell their gallbladders. It was not an assignment he enjoyed, the men were dangerous and Harold does not take kindly to hurting animals. So his new assignment is odd but welcome. Montana’s Smith River is gorgeous and remote; it is a 7 year wait to receive a permit to float the river. Lately someone has been putting up scarecrows above the river, with signs saying “NOT ON MY WATCH” and “N0 SMITH RIVER MINE”, sentiments Harold might agree with but the powers that be want the perpetrator caught. A documentary filmmaker, Lillian Cartwright, has permission to float the river with Clint McCaine (a wealthy man and manager of the mine project) and Bart Trueblood (president of Save the Smith dedicated to stopping the mine). Lillian figures the fur will fly with the two opponents trapped together on the river, giving her good filming opportunity.

  • SR Books May 2014.Pdf
    Sunriver Books & Music May 2014 Newsletter Sunriverbooks.com 541-593-2525 Saturday May 10th at 5:00 PM William Sullivan gives a slide show titled Oregon for the Curious showing us some of the stranger places in our beautiful state; places to hike, places to visit, and places used as settings for the stories in his new book, an innovative collection of short stories titled The Oregon Variations. Sullivan was inspired by Bach’s Goldberg Varia- tions and the loneliness reflected in Kafka’s short stories. In his collection he writes a fugue using the structure of Bach’s music to craft a work of fic- tion. The stories are varied, well written and interesting. My favorite is the Vortex about a lonely little bookstore battling Amazon, the evil empire, in an incredibly unusual way. Aria for Tenderfeet captures perfectly the feel- ing of ranchland and the melancholy of one generation yearning to pass on the land as it was passed to them. It is a lovely story about a grandfather and two grandsons beginning to understand. To Say Nothing Of The Dog has two hit men on the trail of their target on the snowy Crater Lake trail. This daring 31 story collection is set in every county in Oregon. Two of the stories use crossword puzzles. Pictures of Crater Lake need no words, they tell their own stories. It is all highly entertaining and unique. Sullivan, like the ancient Greeks, understands that melancholy and humor can live side by side. While his stories succeed in capturing that sense of loneliness that inspired him, they also use a deft touch to keep the reader entertained.

  • Articles from 2016
    Preview Shelf Articles for 2016 December 1, 2016 Discovering the Wild Heritage of the Nineteenth State By Dianne Combs It has been a wonderful year of celebration for the state of Indiana. Two hundred years of statehood! We have learned many things about our political and historical heritage, but I believe that Indiana still has many secrets that need to be learned. Here at the library we have some beautiful books that will help you explore the natural history of our great state. “The Natural Heritage of Indiana,” edited by Marion T. Jackson, takes us on a lively jaunt through the terrain of our great state. To my delight, the very first picture in Part One is of the “Honeycomb Rock” at Pine Hills Nature Preserve in the southwestern part of Montgomery County. Glaciation and its effects on our landscape are explained in detail, which helps me to understand all the rock formations I come across while exploring some of our nationally renowned state parks. Throughout this section, written by Henry Gray, we are taken on several tours of Indiana. He describes the terrain as if he were driving along highways and illustrates his discussion with appropriate topographical maps. Our soil and water, wetlands and caves — all these give our state its unique stamp on the map of our nation. Beautiful photographs of the flora and fauna of Indiana fill the pages of this coffee table book. I could spend hours just turning its pages, learning about the native plants and animals with which we share our land. We have recently acquired two copies of “A Place Called Turkey Run — A Celebration of Indiana’s Second State Park in Photographs and Words,” by Daniel P.

  • The Cowboy and the Detective: the Case of Craig Johnson Antoine Dechêne
    The Cowboy and the Detective: The Case of Craig Johnson Antoine Dechêne Abstract. This essay focuses on Craig Johnson’s charismatic protagonist Walt Longmire, the county sheriff of Absaroka, Wyoming. A cowboy- detective par excellence, Longmire embodies the interrelationship between the Western and detective fiction while offering a good example of “glocal literature”—that is, a form of literature that is both global and local. Craig Johnson is one of the most prominent North American crime writers in recent years. His fiction revolves around a marginal and charismatic detective: Walt Longmire, the county sheriff of Absaroka, Wyoming. The fictional county is inspired by the novelist’s everyday life, himself a rancher at Ucross in the same state of Wyoming. This West, delin- eated by vast plains spreading at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains, is, for Longmire, a space of investigation and meditation, a landscape whose omnipresence and personification make it a full- fledged character in the novels. Accordingly, this essay focuses on the figures of the cowboy and the detective, both emblematic of the genres they embody: the Western and crime fiction. The essay also deals with the representations and the different impacts of this vast natural space on the detective’s work (the reading of tracks, traces, and clues; the time- consuming drives; the importance of the weather, etc.). The apparent immensity of the American West also encourages introspection and tints the narrative with spiritual, almost mystical overtones. Longmire often has prophetic dreams and visions stimulated by his long- standing friendship with his Cheyenne comrade, Henry Standing Bear.
