2024 marks the diamond (75th) anniversary year of George R. Stewart’s great classic, Earth Abides (1949). Join local writer and authorized Stewart biographer Donald Scott for a presentation and overview of Stewart and his legacy. There will be an emphasis on the books still in print, special emphasis on his Nevada work, and very special emphasis on the books currently being filmed: Earth Abides and U.S. 40: Cross Section of the United States of America.
For those who are interested in a follow-up event, a literary walk led by Scott in honor of Stewart’s work and publications will take place on Saturday, September 28. Learn more and register for this walk here.
This program is supported with funding by the Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at Brigham Young University and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
