A Nonfiction Reading by Mohamed Asem
Lewis & Clark - Frank Manor House 0615 SW Palatine Hill Road, PortlandMohamed Asem - July, 2016: Three days after the terror attack on Bastille Day, Mohamed Asem is detained overnight by British immigration officials without cause. In an elegantly digressive, self-interrogative style, Asem describes the boredom and uncertainty of confinement, and how this specific kind of helplessness leads, inevitably, to a self-reckoning. What series of events has led to this moment? Stranger in the Pen examines the burden of being disconnected from one’s homeland, unpacks the emotional toll of racial profiling, and illuminates the quietly surprising ways in which grief can change one’s life. Asem will appear in conversation with his publisher, Michael Heald, of Perfect Day Publishing.

Reading: Floyd Skloot: Far West
Annie Bloom's Books 7834 SW Capitol Hwy, PortlandAnnie Bloom's welcomes back Portland author Floyd Skloot to read from his latest collection of poems, Far West. Floyd Skloot's Far West intertwines the past and present, as time alternates between racing and standing still. Crafting poems that confront memory lapses and painful recollections, Skloot traces his moments of purest perception and expression: his wife practicing music, his daughter finding delight in the presence of wildlife, Vladimir Nabokov able to lose himself when playing goalie in a soccer match. A poem about a forgotten word or name can lead to one about a song that refuses to stop playing over and over in our minds, or to an evocation of a long-dead futuristic novelist who comes back from the afterlife to find a world even…

Jarett Kobek
Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, PortlandYou know the rules. If you still want to play the game of American life, then you had better learn to lie. Kneel before false gods.

And what if it was hilarious? Jarett Kobek, author of I Hate the Internet, has written Only Americans Burn in Hell (We Heard You Like Books), the last honest book of your lifetime.
