"The holiday season is here, and Oregon's literary scene is flourishing with author readings, holiday fairs, and cookie decorating events for the whole family. Enjoy December's front-heavy schedule with events from Powell's Books, Mother Foucault's Bookshop, Up Up Books, and others, then take some time to unwind and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the holidays as December winds down and the year comes to an end."
"Shoppers can meet local authors at "Holiday Cheer," the Oregon Historical Society's 56th Annual Celebration of Oregon Authors, from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 7, at the historical society in downtown Portland. The free event is open to the public and kicks off the holiday season by celebrating Oregon's talented literary voices. More than 60 authors, editors, and illustrators will be signing books while attendees shop for holiday gifts and sip hot cocoa."
"Megha Majumdar, National Book Award nominee and author of Burning, will talk about her newest book, A Guardian and a Thief, with Lydia Kiesling, author of Mobility. Set over the course of a week, Majumdar's book tells two stories: one of Ma, a woman searching for the thief, and the other of Boomba, the thief driven by desperation to care for his family. Majumdar paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of two families, each operating from a place of ferocious love."
