Welcome to the town of Blossom—part myth, part hilariously off-kilter reality.
Green Grass, Running Water is the story of five Blackfoot Indians whose
existences connect in ways that are at once coincidental, comical and cosmic.
This is a rich tale, weaving magical humour, revisionist history, nostalgia and
myth into one bright whole.
Green Grass, Running Water’s timeless appeal has kept it flying off
bookstore shelves since it was published in 1993. Enhanced with a P.S. section,
this edition introduces a new generation of readers to King’s unique take on
contemporary human experience.
