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

Johanna Stoberock & Elizabeth Earley in Conversation With Monica Drake

Powell's Books on Hawthorne 3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR, United States

In the tradition of Lord of the Flies, Johanna Stoberock’s Pigs (Red Hen) is an exquisitely wrought fable about the excesses of the contemporary world – asking questions about community, environmental responsibility, and the possibility of innocence. Both a philosophical novel and a coming-of-age story, Elizabeth Earley’s Like Wings, Your Hands (Red Hen) explores a mother-son relationship in the context of disability and interdependence, while also raising questions about the nature of time and space and the limitless capacities of the human mind. Stoberock and Earley will be joined in conversation by Monica Drake, author of The Folly of Loving Life.
