09.22: City of Lies: Love, Sex, Death, and the Search for Truth in Tehran
2014-08-18 22:38:51| Powells Books Events Calendar
Drawn from conversations whispered across tables in the cafes that line Vali Asr, Tehran, Iran's pulsing central thoroughfare, journalist Ramita Navai gives voice to the unforgettable lives of ordinary people forced to live extraordinary lives in modern Tehran: the porn star, the aging socialite, the assassin and enemy of the state who ends up working for the Republic, the religious militiaman who undergoes a sex change, the dutiful housewife who files for divorce, and the old-time thug running a gambling den. Rich, absorbing, and exotic, City of Lies (PublicAffairs) is an insider's glimpse into the local personalities, unremarkable busy bodies, and hysterical intrigues buzzing about the city like you've never seen before. This event is sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Oregon.
09.14: In Search of the Perfect Loaf: A Home Baker's Odyssey
2014-08-18 20:39:23| Powells Books Events Calendar
In 2009, journalist Samuel Fromartz was offered the assignment of a lifetime: to travel to France to work in a boulangerie. So began his quest to hone not just his homemade baguette — which later beat out professional bakeries to win the "Best Baguette of D.C." — but his knowledge of bread, from seed to table. For the next four years, Fromartz traveled across the United States and Europe, meeting historians, millers, farmers, wheat geneticists, sourdough biochemists, and everyone in between — learning about the history of bread making, the science of fermentation, and more. The result is In Search of the Perfect Loaf (Viking), an informative yet personal account of bread and bread baking, complete with detailed recipes. Fromartz will be joined in conversation by Tim Healea, owner and head baker of Little T American Baker. This event is sponsored by Edible Portland.
