Frugalportland.com names “5 Portland Women Writers Well Worth Reading”

by Cila Warncke for frugalportland.com In an era where you can read yourself blind online without spending a penny, buying books is an act of enlightened frugality. Magazines and newspapers get tossed; websites morph. Books stick around. What’s more, books slow us down. There are no hyperlinks or banner ads, nothing to whisk our mind into the …

Lidia Yuknavitch by Andrew Kovalev

Inspiration from Lidia Yuknavitch, Booklover and Author

From Broadway Books’ store newsletter: Fall has truly arrived, and it is as lovely as ever. We  traveled to Tacoma last weekend to attend the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association meeting, and along the way we marveled at the changing colors of the leaves– so gorgeous! The highlight of this meeting each year is meeting so …

Bedtime at Broadway Books

I arrived ten minutes late to the Occupy Broadway Books: Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups event. Even though I knew the deal, I was still surprised—and impressed—to see about 100 adults of all ages dressed in pajamas, some holding stuffed animals and blankies as they sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the register waiting …

Two Out of Three 'Rebel Memoirs' Made in Portland

Nice to hear Portland indie publisher Hawthorne Books recognized in a recent NPR story about memoir—twice. In one of those segments where an author selects three books to recommend, memoirist Marion Winik (The Glen Rock Book of the Dead) chose ‘rebel memoirs,’ including The Chronology of Water by Portland’s Lidia Yuknavitch (a recent PNBA Award winner!) and …

The Aura of Books, an Essay by 2012 PNBA Book Award Winner Lidia Yuknavitch

It is not a metaphor to live books. I know it’s true. I once heard it articulated perfectly by Haruki Murakami: “The question is not ‘will one form overtake another?’ Forms are always overtaking one another.

The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch

“Genuine and generous, this memoir risks much and succeeds powerfully. A striking story is being told here, but the way it's told is even more striking. The book becomes experiential, fostering an intimacy generic zithromax between the writer and reader. You will be moved.”—PNBA Awards Committee. The Chronology of Water is on the shortlist for the …
