"It's been a bountifully bookish week in Oregon's biggest city, with lots of events leading up to Saturday's sold-out Portland Book Festival. Writing workshops, readings, a book fair, and more than a hundred authors and interviewers are taking over all sorts of spaces on and around downtown's South Park Blocks. The many authors in town for the big books bash come from all over: politician/novelist Stacey Abrams, historian Jill Lepore, journalistic storyteller Susan Orlean, Spokane novelist Jess Walter, poet Reginald Dwayne Betts, and many more."
"But Portland and the rest of Oregon are filled with fine writers, too, and several - among them Oregon Book Awards winners Lidia Yuknavitch, Omar El Akkad, Jon Raymond, Leni Zumas, and Kimberly King Parsons - will be participating in the Book Festival. What's more, you might see them around and about town any time of the year."
Portland hosts a sold-out Portland Book Festival across downtown's South Park Blocks with workshops, readings, a book fair, and more than a hundred participants and interviewers. Visiting figures include Stacey Abrams, Jill Lepore, Susan Orlean, Jess Walter, and Reginald Dwayne Betts. Several Oregon Book Award winners — including Lidia Yuknavitch, Omar El Akkad, Jon Raymond, Leni Zumas, and Kimberly King Parsons — will participate, and local winners often appear year-round around town. The listed Oregon Book Award winners span Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry, and their work provides readers access to other worlds through the evolutionary miracle of language.
