Michael Strelow weaves the story of a town and its mysteries in his debut novel, "The Greening of Ben Brown, " an Oregon Book Award Finalist for fiction 2005. Ben Brown, the protagonist, becomes a citizen of East Leven, Oregon, after he recovers from an electrocution that has not left him dead but has turned him green. He befriends 18 year-old Andrew James and together they unearth a chemical spill cover-up that forces the town to confront its demons and its citizens to choose sides. Strelow's lyrical prose and his talent for storytelling come together in this poetic and important first work that looks at how a town and the natural environment are inextricably linked. "The Greening of Ben Brown" will find itself in good company on the shelves between "Winesburg, Ohio" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" and readers of both will have a new story to cherish.
