Reading Local: Portland

Writers who have ever faced a deadline might feel a certain kinship with local writer Cathy Lamb’s piece about the mania that ensues when her book is due in a mere fourteen days.  Katie Schneider shines the light on another Portland writer, Ann Littlewood, who has released her debut novel “Knight Kill.” The story of a zookeeper seeking understanding for her husband’s death inside the lions den.  Outside of the “O” section, but a great read nonetheless is Tom Hallman’s piece on a uniquely downtown Portland meander.  The institution that is Cameron’s Books and Magazines is the first stop.

Have you meandered downtown or anywhere else lately?  What did you come across that had some how escaped you before?
