Join us for a conversation around Heather Hansman's books and essays!
In this book club, there is no required reading, join us to discuss the authors books, essays, writing style, research, and more. Tea and snacks provided!
Heather is a freelance writer and editor. She writes about a range of things, from butchers to birth control, but, to generalize, most of what she covers happens outside. She likes the intersection of science, adventure, and culture. She is a contributing editor at Outside magazine, and she writes for places like The Guardian, Sierra, and The New York Times. She lives here in Durango, right by the river.
Heather's new book "Powder Days: Ski Bums, Ski Towns, and the Future of Chasing Snow" was released in November of 2021. It's about the fantasy of living the ski bum dream, and why it's not always as dreamy as it seems. Her first book "Downriver: into the Future of Water in the West" is about her trip down the length of the Green River, and the water system in the Western U.S., was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2019.
We'll be meeting in the Reading Room on the second floor of the library.
