We warmly welcome Stevan Allred to the store on Wednesday, February 13th at 7 pm to read from his new novel The Alehouse at the End of the World, published by Forest Avenue Press. The novel is an epic comedy set in the sixteenth century, where bawdy Shakespearean love triangles play out with shapeshifting avian demigods and a fertility goddess, drunken revelry, bio-dynamic gardening, and a narcissistic, bullying crow, who may have colluded with a foreign power – a juicy fable and a hopeful tale for our troubled times. Robin Cody says Alehouse is “the wildly inventive and lovingly hilarious work of a master craftsman,” and Kate Gray says that reading this novel “delights like a fine ale.” Stevan Allred’s first book was A Simplied…

The Book Burger Reading

Belmont Books 3415 SE Belmont St, Portland, OR, United States

On August 10th, a group of local authors across multiple genres invite you to spend the evening with them. It's an invite unlike many you'll come across, wherein we want you to meet us for a bite to eat at Nick's Famous Coney Island to celebrate the last day of Burger Week before a reading at Belmont Books. After each author reads for about ten minutes, we'll head over to Rendez Vous down the block for a cocktail or tea. What we want is a community of readers who get to know the authors, find new ones, and branch outside their favorite genre–if not just to tell a friend. Belmont Books is a lovely, if not smaller bookstore. That means you we may be at…
