thor Series. The event will take
place at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 9
at the library. The event is free,
and the public is welcome.
“Sunland” is the story of a
mid-30s man, between jobs and
short on funds, who moves back
to Tuscon to take care of his be-
loved grandmother. Finding his
grandmother’s pharmacy drugs
much cheaper across the border,
he becomes a prescription drug
mule. This book takes the read-
er across all kinds of borders,
yinning and yanging between
Mexico and the U.S., youth and
age, faith and betrayal, legal and
outlaw, sober and stoned, and
last but by no means least, love
and the void. The writing is gor-
geous, the characters ring true,
and the story hurtles along with
many a hairpin twist and turn.
Waters, also author of a sto-
ry collection, “Desert Gothic,”
sneaks some serious issues into
what is most often a lightheart-
ed, sometimes zany account of
a compassionate man who cares
about his elderly clients, keeps
meticulous records of the meds
he supplies them, and genuinely
enjoys their company.
Waters won the Iowa Short
Fiction Award for “Desert Goth-
ic” and has spent years living in
the Southwest desert, which is
evident through his beautiful
description of the harsh, unfor-
giving and often gorgeous land-
scape. The real achievement of
“Sunland,” however, is the way
Waters develops his main char-
acters.
Waters has been antholo-
gized in the Pushcart Prize, Best
of the West, and New Stories
from the Southwest. A frequent
contributor to the San Francis-
co Chronicle, he has also writ-
ten for the NYT Book Review,
Outside, The Believer and Slate,
among other publications. He is
a graduate of Skidmore College
and the Iowa Writers’ Work-
shop. Originally from Reno,
Nevada, he now lives in Port-
land.
