Big ideas in a mythic place ELCOME TO THE Festival of Books in Deadwood, a town rich with mythology and history. Recently, I heard someone saying on a radio show that all things “western” came Wthrough Deadwood. I suppose it was an overstatement, but I was intrigued that all the events associated with this town — Wild Bill Hickok, gambling and shootouts, Calamity Jane, broken treaties with the Native people, gold mining — make it the epicenter of the mythology of the American West. Deadwood is your center for reading and thinking during the festival. You’ll find presentations on everything from children’s picture books to James Beard award-winning cookbooks, biographies, mysteries, romances and war literature. You’ll meet poets (including our new state poet laureate), nonfiction authors, novelists, historians, first-time authors, seasoned authors and film producers. Browse and listen. Spend time with an author that you hadn’t planned on hearing — you might find a new favorite. Discover other books that the author has written or search for a similar book by another great author, and … on it goes. Share your discoveries with a friend, and the circle of reading will expand. I hope the festival gives you a unique opportunity to think about myths and truths and how reading connects us with ideas. Start your new reading list, just in time for winter reading. Thanks for being part of this year’s Festival. Enjoy Deadwood, and enjoy reading. Ann Volin Executive Director South Dakota Humanities Council Visit the Humanities Council booth in Exhibitors’ Hall to take part in our “I learned to read at …” program. 6 • SOUTH DAKOTA FESTIVAL OF BOOKS EVENT To Rapid City LOCATIONS DEADWOOD A.
