Westerns may bring to mind cacti, shoot-outs, and spurs...but there's so much more to it! Join Portland Public Library, Portland Ovations, and Back Cove Books as we read and discuss three very different westerns. Discover what's in a western and see how this timeless genre continues to evolve. Part 1 is 12/16/25. We will discuss True Grit, by Charles Portis. Part 2 is 1/13/26. We will discuss How Much of These Hills is Gold, by C. Pam Zhang. Part 3 is 2/10/26. We will discuss God's Country, by Percival Everett. Learn more: portlandme.librarycalendar.com/.../wild-wild... We have free copies of each book available, but quantities are limited. Please call 207-771-2775 or email readersadvisory@portlib.org for assistance locating an available copy. Back Cove Books also offers a 10% discount on books for book discussions and book clubs. This series was inspired by Sunny Jain's Wild Wild East, coming soon to the State Theatre. Book discussion attendees will be entered into a drawing for two free tickets.
