Alexandra Fuller Reading Tonight

She's an incredible memoirist and local activist and she's kicking off the JH Writers Conference tonight. Alexandra Fuller (aka Bo Miller) will read from her latest book, "The Legend of Colton H. Bryant."

Fuller's new nonfiction novel tells of a Wyoming Everyman – his life, his family, his community, his world – and his end in an oil-field accident. The New York Times said the book contained "sentences that are as beautiful as anything you'll read in contemporary fiction."

Jackson Hole resident William Broyles Jr. will introduce his fellow Teton writer. The evening also will include a slideshow of a recent Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition (RAVE) conducted by the International League of Conservation Photographers in Sublette County, where much of Fuller's book takes place. The purpose of the RAVE is to shed light on pressing conservation issues in specific areas, and to bring the to the attention of the media.


Tonight at 7 at the Center for the Arts.
