LIVELY WORDS

Session 5

I first met David Schweidel at a party in Las Cruces, NM in the early 1990s, when he and Robert Boswell started collaborating on a nonfiction book that would eventually be called What Men Call Treasure: The Search for Gold at Victorio Peak. Published by Cinco Puntos Press last month, it’s about one man’s quest to find a legendary stash of gold buried inside a hill in south central New Mexico.

Recently, David and his friends threw a party to celebrate the book. In keeping with the celebratory spirit, it seems fitting to have the chance to feature David on Lively Words, where he reads an excellent short story.
