(The above are my images inspired by listening to her.)
Unfortunately, I couldn't get my pen and notebook out of my briefcase quickly and quietly enough to take notes.
On this blog, I will personally be reviewing her latest two books, The Voice of the River (FC2 2011) and In This Light: New & Selected Stories (Graywolf 2011). The rest of her bio. from her University of Utah website is below:
"She is also the author of the novels Sweet Hearts, Meteors in August, and Iona Moon, and the story collections First, Body and Girls in the Grass. Thon’s work has been included in Best American Short Stories (1995, 1996), three Pushcart Prize Anthologies (2003, 2006, 2008), and O. Henry Prize Stories (2006). She is a recipient of a Whiting Writer's Award (1997), two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (1992 and 2008), a Writer's Residency from the Lannan Foundation (2005), and a fellowship from the Tanner Humanities Center (2009). Thon's fiction has been translated into French, Italian, German, Spanish, Croatian, Finnish, Japanese, and Farsi. Originally from Montana, Thon now lives in Salt Lake City, where she teaches in the Creative Writing and Environmental Humanities programs at the University of Utah."
