Home Augusta Locke The Rest of the Earth Native Appearances Workshops Book Clubs Bio Contacts Links Appearances Public Talk: "From Obsession to Story" William Haywood Henderson has written three (working on number four) novels set primarily in Wyoming. His characters are often solitary figures facing tough odds in a daunting environment. Why does Henderson return to these landscapes and themes, and how does he keep from just telling the same story over and over? Henderson will read excerpts from his novels, talk about sources of inspiration, and try to show how a writer's obsessions inform and, ultimately, control the stories he tells.
