SMITH HENDERSON READING & SIGNING
Once in awhile, a book will affect a bookseller so intensely that they become a trembling, heat-seeking evangelist for it. Smith Henderson’s debut novel, Fourth of July Creek, did that to one of us and if this hasn’t already wound up your hands, now you have an opportunity to learn in-person why the book is so affecting. Set in Henderson’s native Montana during the 70s and 80s, Fourth of July Creek explores the complexities of freedom, community, grace, suspicion and anarchy, brilliantly depicting our nation’s disquieting and violent contradictions. According to The New York Times, “First novels don’t come much more confidently written or fully imagined than this.”
