Especially for readers who want to know about area book signings, local authors, and locally set or oriented books -- but really for anyone who wants to talk about books of any kind.

Hey All!
I'm a PhD Student in American Studies at Saint Louis University. I lived in Boulder for a number of years.
Does anyone know of novels set in Boulder that may have "Orientalism" themes? I'm thinking of the Tibetan influences in Boulder, Naropa or the Tea House. I'm in Cultural Studies and I'm looking to apply the appropriation of "oriental culture," to Boulder. Thanks for the help!

Michael: I don't, but that doesn't mean they're not out there. Talking to the staff at the Boulder Bookstore and also at Trident Bookseller & Cafe would be a great place to start. Both places should be up on that stuff. Boulder Bookstore's number is 303.447.2074, and Trident's is 303-443-3133. I hear Tuesday's are the slowest retail day. I'd guess that at around 3:00, they'll be least busy.

Michael: Or call Naropa. They'd probably be willing to help someone in the academic arena. (303) 444-0202
