Read: More on this month's selection

KSUT Four Corners Public Radio continues its Four Corners: One Book community-wide, online book club with The Widow's Revenge by James D. Doss, a book chosen by the staff at Waldenbooks in Durango. Every month, KSUT partners with a different public library or local bookstore in making the Four Corners: One Book selection. For the month of December, KSUT has teamed up with the Waldenbooks. The Durango bookstore has chosen Doss's book, which is a continuation of the Charlie Moon Mystery series, partly because it is set within La Plata County and the Southern Ute Reservation. KSUT will be teaming up with a different local library or bookstore and let them select a new book every month. We will also try to schedule on-air interviews with the authors, community discussions and author talks. In the spirit of community, KSUT is asking participants to buy or borrow the books locally. If you are interested in being a book club member, simply pick up a book! If you're interested in sponsoring One Book: Four Corners or partnering with KSUT, please contact KSUT staff.

Do: Official Book Club Events
There are no scheduled events as of yet. Please keep listening to KSUT for the on-air interview and announcements of readings or signings related to Four Corners: One Book.

Talk: Tell us what you think about the book

Let us know what you think of this month's One Book: Four Corners selection by visiting our blog and leaving your comments. Tell us who you are and where you're from and we may use it on-air! Here are some of the comments so far: Posted by Ray Schmudde on July 15 "I read the Sides this spring when I borrowed "B&T" from a friend in Silver City. Anyone who has read DeVoto's "Year of Decision 1846" will be familiar witht the history, but Sides writes a compelling narrative and reaches beyond the Civil War era. Modern readers may be surprised at the blantant racism of the era, but Sides doesn't shy from presenting our history with all its flaws. With his focus, but not concentration, on Kit Carson, we see that folks were tougher in those days, especially the Indians, who endured much in the name of Manifest Destiny and Christianity. (Remember that it wasn't too long ago that the word savage was removed from the monument in the Santa Fe plaza.)Readers who are intrigued by this time period and a little beyond may want to investigate Eve Ball's "In the Time of Victorio" and "Indeh." Dan L. Thrapp is also very good." Posted by Kelly Miller on June 13 "Huntley's book speaks to American educators.  We are perpetually looking for eager students. She makes the best of a poor situation by using the skills she has. We may not always have the ideal situation in our classrooms, but if you are a passionate teacher, this shouldn't matter.  We persevere because we love surrounding ourselves with young people clamoring to make a change." Posted by Mike Andrews on May 1 "Rick Collignon is a marvelous writer, in my opinion. To say that the stories in his Northern New Mexico trilogy are engaging would be an understatement. I was wondering what he was going to do next. Alas, I must wait until Tuesday to obtain a copy of his new book." Posted by Julie Bisbee on May 27 "Just finished the book – great story, a bit understated but well told. The line – “ he going to sprinkle you with pestilence. Send you some locusts.” completely grabbed me – I could hear the wings whirring!  Looking forward to reading the other stories – thanks for a great read!"
