Book Party -- It's "Stephen Foreman Day" at the Village Square Bookstore! With his new novel, Watching Gideon, Stephen Foreman has once again created a masterpiece in character study. This book is at once a poignant, moving portrait of a nearly supernatural bond between father and son, a snapshot of America's rugged, gritty history, and a fast-paced story of lust, greed, and self-satisfaction. Filled with humor, adventure sex and intrigue, Watching Gideon is a textured, incredible, stark tale of the cost of an American Dream pursued. Stephen Foreman received his BA from Morgan State and an MFA from the Yale School of Drama, and taught writing and literature at various universities before moving to California to work as a screenwriter and director. Having trekked across the Alaskan wilderness, bushwacked through tropical rain forests, and hunted for gold mines in Arizona, he now makes his home in the Catskill Mountains with his wife and two children. Foreman's first novel, Toehold, was praised as "...wonderful...Authentic Alaska...deeply funny, and, as the title suggests, about life on its most precarious edge."
