Two quick bits of Portland news. I don't know anything about either of these authors but this sounds pretty good. Longfellow Books (in Monument Square) is having readings tomorrow (Thursday the 19th) and Friday the 20th. Tomorrow night is John Manderino, whose memoir Crying at the Movies tells his personal tale through the movies he grew up watching. It sounds like a pretty funny way of identifying, especially considering how important public consumption of film and music has become.
Friday night they host Patrick Tracey, the author of Stalking Irish Madness:
Searching for the Roots of My Family’s Schizophrenia. This one sounds like some really beautiful, poignant stuff. I'm going to be out of town this weekend, but hopefully I'll still be around Friday night to go see this. Support your bookstores and authors, Portland!
