Reviews
Jonathan Evison writes with a big playful heart. West ofHere is a creative bonanza of a novel about the dreamerswho settled this lush corner of the country and the peoplewho wake up here today. Its characters and story lines areseparated by more than a century yet bound by geography, adam and a shared humanity that spills across these pages.The result is a book that feels as true to the Pacific Northwest as its drizzling rain, shucked oysters and Douglas Firs., Intelligent, insightful, poignant, funny, endlesslyentertaining and perpetually thought-provoking, West ofHere proves that Evison is a major new voice in Americanfiction., "Evison, author of this audacious historical novel, manages a near-impossible feat: first, he creates an almost absurdly complex narrative structure, bridging more than 100 years of life in Washington State and encompassing multiple points of view, and then he grounds the sublime architechtonic whole in the vividly realized daily lives of characters who exist completely in their individual moments but whose actions reverberate back and forth across time . . . [This] is a testament to the books' greatness." --Booklist, starred review, eoeEvison gives us a jaunty, rain-slicked quest story . . . Its ending is clever and satisfying, and its arrival could signal the breakout of a promising career.e e" Cleveland Plain Dealer, Epic' is yet another one of those words that's been stripped of its meaning from overuse, but no other word can properly describe this novel. I'm in awe. You will be, too., "A big novel about the discovery and rediscovery of nature, starting over, and the sometimes piercing reverberations of history, this is a damn fine book." --Publishers Weekly, starred review, "[A] big, booming ruckus of a novel . . . Evison [is] a tremendously gifted storyteller." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "Evison switches easily between 19th-century vernacular and contemporary lingo, and the tenderly funny result is both pioneer story and social commentary. You'll want to reread it to catch cross-references between the parallel stories." --American Way, "An enjoyable, meaty read--a vision of a place told through the people who find themselves at the edge of America's idea of itself." -- Los Angeles Times, "A big novel about the discovery and rediscovery of nature, starting over, and the sometimes piercing reverberations of history, this is a damn fine book." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, A novel of stunning sweep...West of Here lays bare the surprising web of connections that tie us to our ancestors, the 'trappings of history' that bind us inexorably to the great myths of the past, even as our future fragments and scatters., An enjoyable, meaty read-a vision of a place told through the people who find themselves at the edge of America's idea of itself. - Los Angeles Times, [A] big, booming ruckus of a novel . . . Evison [is] a tremendously gifted storyteller. - San Francisco Chronicle, Evison bravely sets out to conquer big stories and bigthemes, and the result is a daringly structured and deeplysatisfying expedition of a novel. West ofHere deftly connects lives and centuries, pipe dreams and fierce realities, the sensibilities of the modem with the storytelling punch of the classic. Every sentence, character and hardwon patch of Pacific Northwest earth shimmers with kinetic truth., "Evison switches easily between 19th-century vernacular and contemporary lingo, and the tenderly funny result is both pioneer story and social commentary. You'll want to reread it to catch cross-references between the parallel stories." -- American Way, Evison gives us a jaunty, rain-slicked quest story . . .

Synopsis
At the foot of the Elwha River, the muddy outpost of Port Bonita is about to boom, fueled by a ragtag band of dizzyingly disparate men and women unified only in their visions of a more prosperous future. A failed accountant by the name of Ethan Thornburgh has just arrived in Port Bonita to reclaim the woman he loves and start a family. Ethan s obsession with a brighter future impels the damming of the mighty Elwha to harness its power and put Port Bonita on the map. More than a century later, his great-great grandson, a middle manager at a failing fish- packing plant, is destined to oversee the undoing of that vision, as the great Thornburgh dam is marked for demolition, having blocked the very lifeline that could have sustained the town. "West of Here" is a grand and playful odyssey, a multilayered saga of destiny and greed, adventure and passion, that chronicles the life of one small town, turning America s history into myth, and myth into a nation s shared experience.", At the foot of the Elwha River, the muddy outpost of Port Bonita is about to boom, fueled by a ragtag band of dizzyingly disparate men and women unified only in their visions of a more prosperous future.
