Let’s get the bad news out of the way first, book lovers: There is no Holt, Colorado.
The small Eastern Plains town that forms the backdrop of the great Kent Haruf’s “Plainsong,” “Eventide,” “Benediction” and “Our Souls at Night” is fictional.
And James Michener’s Colorado epic didn’t take place in the suburb south of Denver. That “Centennial” is fictional, too.
But the state is home to plenty of real-life literary destinations worth a stop on your next trip.
