José Knighton Bookseller

A book monger for 35 years (in Salt Lake, Moab & Portland, Oregon), José apprenticed at Sam Weller's Zion Bookstore in the early 70's. When he's not reading (Roberto Bolaño, Neal Stephenson or Rebecca Newberger Goldstein), tinkering with a sonnet, listening to The Department of Eagles, The Decemberists or Calexico, he's hiking, off-trail, into some—hopefully snake infested—wilderness.
