Hagy reads "Snow, Ashes" in Cody

Fiction writer and UW writing prof Alyson Hagy from Laramie will be reading from her new novel, Snow, Ashes on Tuesday, July 24 at 5 p.m. at The Thistle, 1243 Rumsey Ave., Cody. A book signing will follow the reading. Refreshments will be served.

Here's what Publisher's Weekly said about the book:

Hagy crafts first-rate prose -- unsparingly raw and visceral with flashes of high lyricism -- that carries the reader from the napalmed mountains of Korea to the vast pastures of the west. The inevitable but surprising conclusion will yank tears from hard hearts.

Alyson won a 2006 creative writing fellowship from the Wyoming Arts Council.
