11.20: Alex Honnold in Conversation with Anna Rymill
2015-10-14 00:04:02| Powells Books Events Calendar
At the age of 30, Alex Honnold is probably the most famous adventure athlete in the world. Free soloing, Honnold's specialty, is a type of climbing performed without a rope, a partner, or hardware for aid or protection. The results of climbing this way are breathtaking, but the stakes are ultimate: if you fall, you die. His book, Alone on the Wall (W. W. Norton), takes us around the world and through the highs and lows in the life of a climbing superstar. Honnold will be joined in conversation by Anna Rymill, Portland Rock Gym's marketing manager. This event is sponsored by Portland Rock Gym.

11.01: Andrea Kleine in Conversation with Vanessa Veselka
2015-10-14 00:04:01| Powells Books Events Calendar
John Hinckley Jr.'s 1981 assassination attempt on President Reagan shocked the nation. It was also the year Andrea Kleine learned her close childhood friend had been violently murdered by her socialite mother, Leslie DeVeau. These two real-life, converging events inspired Kleine's novel, Calf (Soft Skull). Creepy, unsettling, and absolutely addictive, Calf is a penetrating character study, a meditation on the zeitgeist of the '80s, and an unflinching depiction of violence, both intimate and sensational. Kleine will be joined in conversation by Vanessa Veselka, author of Zazen.
