Pretty Thin: What Denver Will Be Reading This Fall

In a departure from the first four years of the program, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper announced Tuesday that this year’s One Book, One Denver selection is the late Dashiell Hammett’s “The Thin Man.” Previously, only books centered from living authors were chosen. Hickenlooper said of the change in criteria, “In the fifth year, we decided to be a little more adventurous” and select a “page-turner.”
