Mary Doria Russell has 22 past events. (show) Georgia Center for the Book: Mary Doria Russell (June 2, 2011 at) Mary Doria Russell discusses Doc. Bestselling author Mary Doria Russell joins us with a dashing, fun new novel, ”Doc,” all about the legendary Doc Holliday and his unforgettable female companion Kate Harony. Critics call ”Doc” a ”terrific bio-epic set in a revisionist version of the old West, more realistic yet more riveting ... (more)than any movie or TV western.” Doc Holliday, of course, was the Atlanta-born John Henry Holliday, who gave up a promising dental career when he came down with tuberculosis and headed west for his health. By 1878, he turned up in Dodge City as a professional gambler with his mistress Kate, about to run into the Earp Brothers, Wyatt and Morgan, and Bat Masterson. You’ll love this enthralling story, told with a fresh, clever style by a wonderful writer. Don’t miss this lively event -- we’ll have copies of ”Doc” for sale and signing here.
Next Chapter Bookshop: Mary Doria Russell (May 23, 2011 at) Mary Doria Russell reads from Doc. Bestselling author Mary Doria Russell turns her keen eye for historical detail to the wild West in her latest novel, Doc. In 1878, the Texas cattle trade is at its peak. In Dodge City, Kansas, a saloon-filled cow town jammed with liquored up cowboys, violence is random and routine. But when the burned ... (more)up body of a boy named Johnnie Sanders is discovered, his death shocks a part-time policeman named Wyatt Earp. The boy’s death is also a matter of personal importance to Doc Holliday, the frail twenty-six year old dentist who has just opened his office at No. 24 Dodge House. Though born to the life of a Southern gentleman, Holliday was forced to make an awful choice at the age of twenty-one: die within months in Atlanta, or leave everything he loves in the hope that the dry air and sunshine of the West will restore him to health. Holliday, scared and sick, arrives at the edge of the Texas frontier just as an economic crisis wrecks the dreams of a nation. With few alternatives, Holliday is gambling professionally and living with Mária Katarina Harony, a spirited woman who pushes him to go to Dodge City. And that is where the unlikely friendship of Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp really begins.
