Country Bookshelf Join us Wednesday, October 21st at 7pm for a reading and signing with Dr. David P. Sklar, author of "La Clinica: A Doctor's Journey Across Borders" (University of New Mexico Press).

According to Sklar's website,

In 1972, when the world around him was making little sense, David Sklar left in his senior year of college to ...volunteer at a community clinic in rural Mexico. With absolutely no medical experience beyond being accepted to medical school at Stanford, Sklar literally learned medicine by practicing it. With duties that ranged from suturing wounds and delivering babies to digging latrines to pulling teeth, his time at the clinic took him into the heart of a medical world that the sterilized walls of the twentieth century would never have shown him. The experience challenged his idealism and, ultimately, molded him into a skilled emergency physician.

Years later, deeply immersed in the stress of running the ER at the University of New Mexico Hospital and facing a divorce, Sklar decided to revisit the Mexican village and clinic that provided inspiration and grounding in the early stages of his career. Weaving together his time in Mexico, his later career, and his marriage, Sklar's memoir offers a thought-provoking meditation on the virtues of idealism in the face of the inevitable failures that haunt all human endeavors.

Country Bookshelf The Country Bookshelf is pleased to announce that this Friday, August 28th at 7pm, Patrick and Sean Hemingway will be here to discuss the development process of the newly-published A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition. They will also answer audience questions and sign books.

According to the publisher, this "classi...c memoir of Paris in the 1920s" is being "published for the first time as Ernest Hemingway intended. Published posthumously in 1964, 'A Moveable Feast' remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. Since Hemingway's personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined and debated the changes made to the text before publication. Now this new special restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author prepared it to be published.

"Featuring a personal foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest's sole surviving son, and an introduction by the editor and grandson of the author, Sean Hemingway, this new edition also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-published Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son Jack and his first wife, Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of other luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Madox Ford, and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft.

"Sure to excite critics and readers alike, the restored edition of "A Moveable Feast" brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized."

Books are available at the store; preorders or orders for those unable to attend this event are welcome. The Country Bookshelf, a locally-owned independent bookstore, is located at 28 W. Main, in downtown Bozeman and can be reached at 587-0166 or countrybookshelf.com
