Come hear “how an unsuccessful cult novel became an
unsuccessful cult film after only 14 years, 11 nervous breakdowns
and $20 million.” That’s how New Mexico writer John Nichols, author
of the Milagro Beanfield War, describes his upcoming visit May 1-4
at Father Dyer United Methodist Church in Breckenridge, Colo. In
two lectures, Night of the Living Beanfield and Reading, Writing
and Revolution, Nichols will talk about writing, the environment,
politics and sex. The weekend also includes a slide show, book
readings and a movie showing. Fees are $12 for one event, $22 for
two events and $30 for all three. To register, write Father Dyer
Church, Box 383, Breckenridge, CO 80424, or call
970/453-2250.
