portlandfictionbannerempireToday’s Featured Book Event:

1000 Words Reading Series (The Maiden, @7:00pm): Please join the 1,000 Words Reading Series to witness ten great writers. The body of the Portland Fiction Project will each read two tiny, 250-word pieces written for the occasion over the past month, based on the theme LIES and a set of prompts and arbitrary rules provided weekly by series curator Mel Favara. See Reading Local’s interviews with Jeremy Benjamin and Jacob Aiello of PFP, as well as essays from both writers here.

Other Book Event’s Today:

Lance Reynald Reading (Powells Books on Hawthorne, @7:30pm): Hailed as “marvelously endearing and insightful” by Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Lance Reynald’s debut novel Pop Salvation (Harper Perennial) spins together pop art and burgeoning sexuality in a fresh story about learning to trust yourself and the people you love.

You can find other events on your community Libraries schedule using these links: Washington County, Multnomah County, Clackamas County. For other book events this week, please check the list.

Gabe Barber started Reading Local in January of 2009 as a vehicle for exploring Portland's literary scene. He's not an aspiring author, and you won't find his work on a bookshelf or in any prestigious lit rag. He is however, a full on book nerd, with a passion for independent literature.
