09.25: Mary Karr in Conversation with Cheryl Strayed
2015-08-24 01:03:52| Powells Books Events Calendar
Credited with the current revival of the literary memoir, Mary Karr knows a thing or two about the form. She spent over a year atop bestseller lists with The Liars' Club, Cherry, and Lit, and she teaches a highly selective seminar at Syracuse University in New York, where she has mentored future bestselling memoirists such as Cheryl Strayed and Koren Zailckas. The Art of Memoir (Harper) offers a master class in the essential elements of great memoir — delivered with Karr's signature wit, insight, and candor. Karr will be joined in conversation by Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild.

02.09: Nick Hornby in Conversation with Cheryl Strayed
2015-01-16 00:05:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
From Nick Hornby, the bestselling author of High Fidelity, About a Boy, and A Long Way Down, comes the highly anticipated new novel Funny Girl (Riverhead). Set in 1960s London, Funny Girl is a lively account of the adventures of the intrepid young Sophie Straw as she navigates her transformation from provincial ingénue to television starlet amid a constellation of delightful characters. Insightful and humorous, Hornby's latest does what he does best: endears us to a cast of characters who are funny if flawed, and forces us to examine ourselves in the process. Hornby will be joined in conversation by Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things.

Every tattoo tells a story, whether the ink is meaningful or the result of a misguided decision made at the age of 14. Isaac Fitzgerald and Wendy MacNaughton's Pen and Ink (Bloomsbury) grants us access to the tattoos and the stories behind them — of writers and ordinary people alike. Fitzgerald and MacNaughton will be joined by Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Pen and Ink's introduction, illustrator Carson Ellis, Emily Cable, Amy Martin, and Kriste York.

05.15: Ursula K. Le Guin, Cheryl Strayed & Lidia Yuknavitch
2014-04-16 00:35:00| Powells Books Events Calendar
Welcome three of Portland's most talented authors as they discuss books near and dear to their hearts that have long languished out of print and are now available again through Pharos Editions: The Lists of the Past, a technically mesmerizing collection of stories by Julie Hayden; The Tattooed Heart and My Name Is Rose, two emotionally charged literary novels by Theodora Keogh; and Crazy Weather, an American Indian coming-of-age tale by Charles McNichols that serves as "an important document in our cultural history." Cheryl Strayed, Lidia Yuknavitch, and the legendary Ursula K. Le Guin will explore the history, context, and reasons they chose to introduce these titles and help bring them back to readers once more. The panel discussion will be moderated by editor-in-chief of Bitch Media Kjerstin Johnson. This event is sponsored by Bitch Media: Feminist Response to Pop Culture. Please note: Signed copies will be signed by the title's respective curator and not by the original author.
