The Golden Spruce, John VaillantJonathan Bastian, the host of 'Page by Page' on Aspen Public Radio and book review columnist for the Aspen Daily News will host February's book club meeting featuring The Golden Spruce, by John Vaillant. Date: Tuesday, February 28th Time: 6pm Place: Catto Center at Toklat, 11247 Castle Creek Rd, Aspen "John Vaillant is a natural storyteller and big-picture thinker," says Bastian. "In "The Golden Spruce" we not only get the drama of a great novel, but the rich context of a complex situation. Be prepared to travel to an area of the world — British Columbia's Queen Charlotte Islands — that is left out of American history textbooks, where business, native traditions and environmentalists tangle into a narrative that leaves you with big questions that echo beyond the book itself."    |
