From PEN/Faulkner finalist T. Geronimo Johnson comes a dark and socially provocative Southern-fried comedy about four UC Berkeley students who stage a dramatic protest during a Civil War reenactment. A literary coming-of-age novel for a new generation, written with social insight and a unique, generous heart, Welcome to Braggsville (William Morrow) reminds us of the promise and perils of youthful exuberance, while painting an indelible portrait of contemporary America.

Completely revised and rewritten to address the challenges and opportunities of the modern era, Ursula K. Le Guin's Steering the Craft (Mariner) is a short, deceptively simple guide to the craft of writing. Combining illustrative examples from the global canon with her own witty commentary, Le Guin's masterly guide deserves a place on every writer's shelf.

France, 1940: Nazi forces march toward Paris. Lili Rosenswig's wealthy and eccentric family is ensconced in their country chateau with their sumptuous collection of arts and antiques. It is the day before young lovers Lili and Paul are to be married when they are forced to flee and their fortunes change irrevocably. Lili and her family escape but Paul must stay behind to defend his country. In their struggle to adapt to changing circumstances in an unpredictable world, all are pushed to reinvent themselves. Susan Winkler's Portrait of a Woman in White (She Writes Press) is a moving family saga, an obsessive search for lost love and lost art, and an exploration of how far we will go to survive. This event is sponsored by Alliance Française de Portland.
