Alan Kent Haruf (February 24, 1943 – November 30, 2014) was an American novelist.
Haruf was born in Pueblo, Colorado, the son of a Methodist minister. He graduated with a BA from Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1965, where he would later teach, and earned an MFA from the Iowa Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa in 1973.
Before becoming a writer, Haruf worked in a variety of places, including a chicken farm in Colorado, a construction site in Wyoming, a rehabilitation hospital in Denver, a hospital in Phoenix, a presidential library in Iowa, an alternative high school in Wisconsin, as an English teacher with the Peace Corps in Turkey, and colleges in Nebraska and Illinois. He lived with his wife, Cathy, in Salida, Colorado until his death in 2014. He had three daughters from his first marriage.
All of Haruf's novels take place in the fictional town of Holt, in eastern Colorado. Holt is based on Yuma, Colorado, one of Haruf's residences in the early 1980s. His first novel, The Tie That Binds (1984), received a Whiting Award and a special Hemingway Foundation/PEN citation. Where You Once Belonged followed in 1990. A number of his short stories have appeared in literary magazines.

Il 16 Maggio a Milano cominciava la Kent Haruf Week con un flash mob in piazza Duomo e con un reading - presentazione presso la Feltrinelli. Una giornata speciale che ha dato il "la" a una serie di eventi in tutta Italia, fino alla Sardegna. Qui un video con la voce di Lella Costa che legge un brano tratto da Benedizione durante il reading alla Feltrinelli Duomo.
Dalla Gang del Pensiero si parte per un viaggio a Holt, nella settimana dedicata a Kent Haruf e alla Trilogia della pianura.

The beginning of this episode is just me hanging out like normal, but the end is full of a lot of fun things. This week I finished my Because I Love You Wrap by Amy Meeks out of Undead Yarn and Hedgehog fibers. I am working on The Twilight by Drops sweater for my husband out of Leading Men Fiber Arts. I also worked on my Foolproof by Louise Zass-Bangham out of Yarn vs. Zombies. I did a lot of spinning. I have some wonderful goodies to show and a new giveaway. The book this week is Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf. Join the Ravelry group here http://www.ravelry.com/groups/bookish... At the end of this video there are some wonderful clips of my mom, local knitting friends who came for the SA fiber retreat, and a beautiful video of the river. I hope you enjoy! :)
