2024-12-11 07:10:09| Powells Books Events Calendar
Rick Moody offers a darkly comic portrait of a man who comes to life in the most unexpected of ways: through his online reviews. Reginald Edward Morse is a top reviewer on RateYourLodging.com, where his many reviews reveal more than just details of hotels around the globe — they tell his life story. An inventive blurring of the lines between the real and the fabricated, Hotels of North America (Little, Brown) demonstrates Moody's ability to push the bounds of the novel.

In Satellites in the High Country (Island), journalist and adventurer Jason Mark travels beyond the bright lights and certainties of our cities to seek wildness wherever it survives.

In a deeply moving memoir inspired by a sky lantern with a scribbled note and the journey to find the child who wrote it, Matt Mikalatos's Sky Lantern (Howard) offers a poignant and compassionate look at a father's relationship with his children, the healing power of a small act of kindness, and the certainty that even death can't stop love.

2024-12-11 07:10:09| 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.
