here is a great piece @chrislatray put together before the festival.

“Few of the transplant writers over the last half-century do more than give an anxious nod to Montana’s true history. Welch fearlessly shows us its unfolding.”

This is going to be one of the great literary gatherings of the year, and the first of its kind. If you are in the Missoula, Montana area at the end of the month — or if you have a way to get there — do yourself a favor and go. Don’t think. Just go! Check out the link in any case
