04.20: Amy Ephron & Yael Kohen
2013-03-15 00:36:46| Powells Books Events Calendar
The Jewish Federation of Portland presents the Food for Thought Festival featuring readings by two authors. At 1 p.m., Amy Ephron will share her new work, Loose Diamonds: ...And Other Things I've Lost (and Found) along the Way (William Morrow). In Loose Diamonds, an engaging collection of essays and observations, Amy Ephron, the acclaimed, award-winning author of the One Sunday Morning and A Cup of Tea, paints a rich, vivid, and comic portrait of modern living from a modern woman's perspective. Fans of the writings of Amy Sedaris and Joan Didion's Slouching towards Bethlehem will enjoy Ephron's funny, incisive take on the intricate weave of a woman's world. At 3 p.m., Yael Kohen will present We Killed: The Rise of Women in American Comedy (Sarah Crichton Books). No matter how many times female comedians buck the conventional wisdom, people continue to ask: "Are women funny?" The question has been nagging at women off and on (mostly on) for the past 60 years. It's incendiary, much discussed, and, as proven in Yael Kohen's fascinating oral history, totally wrongheaded. In We Killed, Kohen pieces together the revolution that happened to (and by) women in American comedy, gathering the country's most prominent comediennes and the writers, producers, nightclub owners, and colleagues who revolved around them. A chorus of creative voices and hilarious storytelling, We Killed is essential cultural and social history, and — as it should be — great entertainment.
