Read Mink River by Brian Doyle
Meet the author! Doyle’s stunning fiction debut brings a small Oregon coast town to life through the jumbled lives and braided stories of its people. Although Neawanaka, Oregon, is impossible to find on a standard map, you should really spend some time there. It’s a magical coastal village with some “odd sweet corners,” very idiosyncratic residents and stories to last a lifetime.
Wednesday, November 9, 6:30-7:45 p.m.
Read Another Way the River Has: Taut True Tales from the Northwest by Robin Cody
Meet the author! Cody is an Oregon native who previously penned the Oregon Book Award winner Voyage of a Summer Sun. He’s part of that crew of Northwestern nature writers who articulate what it means to reside at the confluence of loggers and tree-huggers, hunters and hippies, Portland urbanites and Clatskanie farmers. In languorous, meandering prose, he glides from a history of the area’s humanity to ecstatic discourse on the spider that has taken up residence in his wooden boat, The Turtle.
Monday, November 14, 1-2:30 p.m.
Life Is the Treasure: Okinawan Memories of WWII
Stories are important. They have the capacity to inspire, reflect, unite and mobilize a community. Professional storyteller Alton Chung will share a collection of riveting stories of integrity, courage and selflessness through the experiences of Nisei, Okinawans, and Hawaii Okinawans during WWII. These powerful tales bring to life incredible heroes to inspire and guide a new generation. Not recommended for children.
