![](\\"/files/bookwormedwards/JEvison2.jpg\\")
The Bookworm of Edwards welcomes New York Times and Indie Next bestseller Jonathan Evision for a discussion on his book West of Here.
Set in the fictional town of Port Bonita\, on Washington State’s rugged Pacific coast\, West of Here is propelled by a story that both re-creates and celebrates the American experience—it is storytelling on the grandest scale. With one segment of the narrative focused on the town’s founders circa 1890\, and another showing the lives of their descendants in 2006\, the novel develops as a kind of conversation between two epochs\, one rushing blindly toward the future and the other struggling to undo the damage of the past.
“Riotously funny...wonderfully charming"\; –New York Times Book Review
“West of Here is a tale of a journey\, where humans are made heroic by circumstance and by often accidental choices. Not all the choices are right or good\, these people aren't superheroes…this is a novel that a reader can settle into\, a work that is\, most of all\, a darned good story.” –Denver Post
“This book is a living\, breathing testament to Evison’s singular talent for creating portraits of people who may be fictional\, but nevertheless are so vital that one is certain their names must be in a historic register somewhere. Like the people in his book\, Evison’s grand ambition seems to have been snatched out of thin air and made real in a way that is simply undeniable.” –BookPage

![](\\"/files/bookwormedwards/PHouston3.jpg\\")
The Bookworm of Edwards welcomes back\, local favorite\, Pam Houston for an event celebrating her newly released book Contents May Have Shifted.
Heart-stopping prose and crackling observations on a spiritual journey toward a life rich in love and freedom.
Stuck in a dead-end relationship\, this fearless narrator leaves her metaphorical baggage behind and finds a comfort zone in the air\, “feeling safest with one plane ticket in her hand and another in her underwear drawer.” She flies around the world\, finding reasons to love life in dozens of far-flung places from Alaska to Bhutan. Along the way she weathers unplanned losses of altitude\, air pressure\, and landing gear. With the help of a squad of loyal\, funny\, wise friends and massage therapists\, she learns to sort truth from self-deception\, self-involvement from self-possession.
PAM HOUSTON is the author of two collections of linked short stories\, Cowboys Are My Weakness and Waltzing the Cat\, the novel\, Sight Hound\, and a collection of essays called A Little More About Me\, all published by W.W. Norton.
