One of the most respected names in contemporary American literature--National Book Award recipient Sherman Alexie--will read from and sign his new collection of fiction\, War Dances.
Alexie has written three story collections\, two screenplays\, 12 volumes of poetry (including Face\, published last March) and three novels\, including The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian\, the 2007 National Book Award winner for Young People's fiction. True Diary was inspired by Alexie's own remarkable\, improbable life\, from his birth with hydrocephalus (doctors didn't expect him to live\, and certainly not without retardation)\, to his determined 44-mile daily round-trip walk to a "\;better"\; high school off the reservation\, to the pinnacle of literary success.

We are celebrating the week with our Go\, Dog. Go! storytime on Saturday\, November 28th at 11 a.m. and a reading and slide show by Anne Palmer Peterson on Tuesday\, December 1st at 7 p.m.\, and\, of course\, with our Annual King's English Bookshop Holiday Party on Thursday\, December 3rd at 5\:30 p.m.
Get 10% off all regularly priced merchandise and an additional 10% off all regularly priced merchandise during our holiday party.
In this revealing talk about producing a book 40 years in the making\, come see how President A. Ray Olpin crafted a massive recruitment campaign that transformed the University of Utah from a provincial college to a first-rate national university.
If you’re a fan of the ’50s\, fond of the University of Utah\, or simply curious how this university came to play such a vital role in expanding Western minds\, you won’t want to miss this provocative telling of tales through photos depicting the mid-century optimism of the A. Ray Olpin era.
This dramatic narrative provides a candid and compelling account of Olpin’s tenure as president\, placing him as a central figure in American higher education and convincing us that his legacy belies mere attachment to one of the University’s best-known gathering places. A. Ray Olpin is more than a mere namesake of the University of Utah’s Student Union Building. He’ll mean much more than a Union to readers who have longed for this important chapter in the University of Utah’s history to be published at last.
Featuring a foreword by University of Utah president emeritus David P. Gardner\, and a collection of moving archival photos\, Years of Promise is a portrait of uncommon leadership and foresight\, a work of historical recovery that chronicles how these traits shaped an unlikely university into the internationally respected institution it is today.
Resolved\: I will begin 2010 with a visit to the King’s English New Year’s Day Sale to stock up on books.
25% off everything (except special orders)! Enjoy a bit of the bubbly\, too\, 10 a.m.– 5 p.m.
