Description
Recent Wallace Stegner Fellow and current creative writing professor at Stanford University John W. Evans discusses his award-winning memoir Young Widower. In 2007 John and his wife, Katie, set out on a hike through the Carpathian Mountains with friends when Katie became separated from the group. When John finally found her, he could only watch helplessly as she was mauled to death by a brown bear. Told with unyielding witness, elegance, and care, Young Widower is a heartbreaking account of a senseless tragedy in nature and the persistence of grief in a young person’s life.
