John Fayhee's new book talks hiking, and the gentrification of the American West

John Fayhee, a former longtime writer and resident in the Roaring Fork Valley, has recently finished his new book “A Long Tangent”. The book goes over his project of hiking every day for over a year, but also includes discussion of themes important to rural life in the West and recreating in the outdoors.

KDNK spoke with Fayhee about one of those themes, the Gentrification of the American West.

More from this interview was featured in the September 8th episode of Express Yourself. Fayhee will be doing readings at Explore Booksellers in Aspen on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 4:30pm and at White River Books in Carbondale on Thursday, Sept. 14 at 6 pm.
