In the September 26 issue of the New Yorker, Peter Hessler has a wonderful profile of Don Colcord, a “druggist” in the tiny town of Nucla, Colorado. Hessler does an excellent job of laying out the contours of a single life and the lifestyle that surrounds it. It’s especially moving on the subject of Don’s brother, Jim, who fled the town for being gay and who eventually, unwittingly, became part of a full-circle coincidence of redemption.
