09.23: Humboldt: Life on America's Marijuana Frontier CANCELLED
2013-09-16 23:35:03| Powells Books Events Calendar
Say the words "Humboldt County" to a stranger and you might receive a knowing grin. The name is infamous, and yet the place and its inhabitants have been nearly impenetrable — until now. Humboldt: Life on America's Marijuana Frontier (Grand Central) is a narrative exploration of an insular community in Northern California, which for nearly 40 years has existed primarily on the cultivation and sale of marijuana. Journalist Emily Brady spent a year living with the highly secretive residents of Humboldt County, and her cast of eccentric, intimately drawn characters take us into a fascinating, alternate universe. It's the story of a small town that became dependent on a forbidden plant, and of how everything is changing as marijuana goes mainstream. We're sorry to report that this event has been cancelled.
