Author Tom McGuane is the winner of the 2000 Evil Companions Literary Award, an honor presented to poets and writers living in, writing about or with ties to the West. McGuane, author of 10 novels and numerous screenplays, will receive the honor at a special reception April 6 in the ballroom of the Oxford Hotel on 17th Street in Denver. Tickets are on sale at the Colorado Review office. All proceeds benefit Colorado Review.
Tickets are limited.
The Evil Companions Literary Award was named for the self-proclaimed Evil Companions, a group of Denver journalists and writers who gathered in the 1950s and 1960s to drink, socialize and discuss writing. The Oxford Hotel will serve hors d'oeuvres and the Wynkoop Brewing Co. will brew a special Evil Companions Ale for the Evil Companions event. Music will be provided by the Jean Milofsky trio. We're delighted to honor Thomas McGuane this year. Along with such writers as Jim Harrison and Richard Ford, he is considered by many to be among the leading novelists of his generation.
