Maxwell Neely-Cohen presents “Echo of the Boom”

Efram gets kicked out of every school in the known universe. Molly is raised in total isolation by survivalists. Steven grows up globetrotting with his ex-spy father. Chloe rules three thousand students with an iron fist. A frenetic journey through contemporary youth culture, “Echo of the Boom” follows the lives of these four characters as their narratives orbit and intertwine. They wage personal wars, grapple for power, and attempt to understand their roles in the future of society--or their destiny in hastening its destruction. The result is a mesmerizing collection of triumphs and calamities, a chronicle brimming with the language of music, social networking, and video games. Equal parts “Gossip Girl” and “Gravity's Rainbow,” “Echo of the Boom” represents a new kind of literature explicitly suited to the twenty-first century. Event takes place at 7 p.m. at Annie Bloom’s Books, 7834 SW Capitol Highway.

Oregon Short Story Anthology Reading: “The Night, and the Rain, and the River”

Four Oregon authors — Jan Baross, Gail Bartley, Steve Denniston, and Jackie Shannon Hollis — read from “The Night, and the Rain, and the River,” an anthology from local publisher Forest Avenue Press, and edited by Multnomah Village's own Liz Prato. A current of longing runs through 22 short stories by Oregon writers. As the characters strive for connection, they make mistakes, reach out to the wrong people, and recalibrate their lives based on what they desire, whether or not it’s attainable — or even a good idea. A shy pyromaniac takes a chance on love. A young woman hands her decisions to a man she’s never met. An abandoned father and son struggle to pull a stump from the stubborn ground, the town wailer loses her voice after her mother’s death, and a cloudless Oregon sky triggers a trip for a final goodbye. Editor Liz Prato has curated a powerful collection of smart, funny, sad, and exquisite stories about the losses that shape our lives. Event takes place at 7 p.m. at Annie Bloom’s Books, 7834 SW Capitol Highway.

Janet Fisher presents “A Place of Her Own”

After leaving home at a young age and defying her parents to marry the dashing Garrett Maupin, Martha Maupin's future became bound up with some of the most extraordinary events in antebellum American history, eventually leading to her journey to a new life on the Oregon Trail. After Garrett Maupin died in 1866, leaving her alone on the frontier with their many children, Martha Maupin was torn between grief and relief after a difficult marriage. Lone mothers had few options in her day, but she took charge of her own dream and bought her own place, which is now one of the few Century Farms in Oregon named for a woman. “A Place of Her Own” is the story of the author's great-great-grandmother's daring decision to buy that farm on the Oregon frontier after the death of her husband--and story of the author's own decision to keep that farm in the family. Janet Fisher's journey into the past to uncover her own family history as she worked to keep the property interweaves with the tales from her ancestors' lives during the years leading up to the Mexican-American War in the East and her great-great-grandmother's harrowing journey across the Oregon Trail with her young family and finally tells the tale of Martha's courageous decision to strike out on her own in Oregon. This book will hold special appeal for Oregon Trail buffs and the many people in this country whose ancestors took that terrible trek, as well as others interested in American history of that period. Event takes place at 7 p.m. at Annie Bloom’s Books, 7834 SW Capitol Highway.
