Overview
Waucoma Bookstore is hosting Scott Sadil for a book reading on Thursday, July 2nd at the Hood River County Library Meeting Room (502 State St., Hood River) at 7:00pm. Sadil will be reading from his new book “Lost in Wyoming”. “Lost in Wyoming” features twelve new stories from one of the most captivating voices in contemporary outdoor literature.

About the Book
Here are twelve new stories from one of the most captivating voices in contemporary outdoor literature. Fed by the fertile springs of love and sport, “Lost in Wyoming” treats readers to a rare taste in literary fiction, the bittersweet pleasures of relationships afield. Men and women, fathers and sons, siblings separated by life’s unfathomable tides—the characters in these stories share in the heartfelt tug of wars—some funny, some sad—immediately recognizable in all of our lives.

Scott Sadil has earned a reputation from reviewers and readers alike for a stylistic elegance as clear and vibrant as the trout and steelhead rivers that remain important in many of these new stories. Humor, heartache, and surprise return in equal measures as staples of Sadil’s fiction. His writing moves with the energy of a wild fish cartwheeling at the end of a line. Yet even readers who have never cast a fly will see themselves reflected in these lucid tales. In “Lost in Wyoming”, Sadil lays claim to a unique spot in contemporary literature: whether near river or surf or stream, passions of the heart bring the waters of these stories to a simmer and rolling boil.
