“Welcome to Douglas, a vaguely fictional Oregon town that is home to rednecks, anarchists, university professors and hippies. Scanlon has brought his pregnant wife, Naomi, here in hopes of tenure and field research. Naomi, a perfume maker who has lost her sense of smell, just feels lost in this town full of (strange) strangers and an increasingly distracted husband. Part-family drama, part-ode to our great and sometimes ridiculous State, The Oregon Experiment is a rollicking ride.”—Beth, Third Street Books, McMinnville.
