Hailed as 'the largest festival of its kind in the Pacific Northwest,' the event brings local and nationally-recognized authors to the Portland Art Museum and surrounding partner venues for live panels, interviews, and pop-up readings, among other things.
We don't understand that exactly, but children's programming did noticeably expand at the festival this year—from one to three stages, according to Literary Arts' Director of Public Affairs Bob Speltz.
Other authors the crowd gasped about were Curtis Sittenfeld, whose playful Romantic Comedy was well received this spring, Mitchell S. Jackson, whose survey of NBA player style Fly we reviewed in our Fall Arts Preview. Jennifer Baker ( Forgive Me Not), Luis Alberto Urrea ( Good Night, Irene), and Nikkolas Smith ( The Artivist) proved similarly gasp-worthy.
