Stephen O’Donnell with Lidia Yuknavitch, Monica Drake, Scott Sparling, Margaret Malone, Jude Brewer

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

From Powell's website: Portland artist Stephen O'Donnell's paintings are always narrative – touching on themes of gender, history, beauty, and longing – but the stories he paints lie just beyond the frame, through an open doorway, within an obscure look or gesture. The 33 authors in The Untold Gaze each chose one of his paintings to use as a prompt for a piece of original fiction. O’Donnell will be joined at the event by contributors Lidia Yuknavitch, Monica Drake, Scott Sparling, Margaret Malone, and Jude Brewer. Preorder a signed edition of The Untold Gaze
