SUMMARY:James Howard Kunstler Returns to Village Books
DESCRIPTION:Village Books Literature Live and Transition Whatcom prese
 nt James Howard Kunstler and his new book, The Witch of Hebron.\n\nTwo
  years ago, renowned social commentator and novelist James Howard Kuns
 tler, author of the bestselling The Long Emergency, imagined a post-oi
 l future in World Made by Hand, which the San Francisco Chronicle call
 ed “an impassioned and invigorating tale whose ultimate message is o
 ne of hope, not despair.” Here Kunstler expands his vision of an Ame
 rica without oil, as he seamlessly weaves the perils of climate change
  into a compelling narrative of violence, religious hysteria, innocenc
 e lost, and love found.\n\n\"His first post-apocalyptic novel, World M
 ade by Hand, was a memorable, deeply touching, nuanced and richly imag
 ined tale that became a bestseller shortly after its release in March 
 2008. It garnered excitement and praise from the likes of NPR, the New
  Yorker and Oprah Winfrey's O Magazine, among others. And Grove/Atlant
 ic has now apparently decided to seize the day by allowing Kunstler to
  parlay this first book into a series. That’s how we’ve come into 
 The Witch of Hebron, a fine sequel to World Made by Hand.\n\n\"Both no
 vels take place in an unspecified near future in which the cheap, abun
 dant oil that makes modern life possible is no longer available. Ameni
 ties like automobiles, hospitals, electrical appliances and cuisines f
 rom around the world simply aren’t a part of people’s lives anymor
 e. Famine and disease have easily halved the population, and for those
  who remain, farming, religion, barter and trade take center stage. Ho
 rses are a necessity for traveling long distances, but few people can 
 afford one in these lean times.\"\n- Frank Kaminsky, The Energy Bullet
 in\nRead entire review\n\nRead Cascadia Weekly's interview from the la
 st time Kunstler visted, along with an excerpt of The Long Emergency a
 bout the Pacific Northwest...and more.\n\nFor more information visit h
