February Readings

Brian Doyle
Bin Laden's Bald Spot
Monday, April 2, 7pm
 Brian Doyle, author of Mink River, returns to Annie Bloom's to read from his new short story collection, Bin Laden's Bald Spot.
Welcome to the peculiar and headlong world of Brian Doyle's fiction,
where the odd is happening all the time, reported upon by characters of
every sort and stripe. These stories will remind readers of the late
giant David Foster Wallace, in their straightforward accounts of
anything-but-straightforward events; of modern short story pioneer
Raymond Carver, a bit, in their blunt, unadorned dialogue; and of Julia
Whitty, a bit, in their willingness to believe what is happening, even
if it absolutely shouldn't be.
Phillip Margolin
Capitol Murder
Tuesday, April 3, 7pm
 Private investigator Dana Cutler and attorney Brad Miller--the heroes of Executive Privilege and Supreme Justice--are back in Capitol Murder.
Convicted serial killer Clarence Little has escaped from death row in
Oregon, and Brad receives threatening messages in D.C., where he is
working for Senator Jack Carson. A dead body, murdered according to
Little's M.O., is found in the senator's Georgetown home, and Carson has
disappeared. While Dana is in Oregon digging into Carson's shady
background, a terrorist cell is poised to destroy a packed professional
football stadium in one of the biggest attacks on American soil.
Maryrose Larkin
Portland Poet
Thursday, April 12, 7pm
 Maryrose Larkin lives in Portland, Oregon, where she works as a freelance researcher. She is the author of Inverse (nine muses books, 2006), Whimsy Daybook (Flash + Card, 2006), The Book of Ocean (i.e. press, 2007), Darc (Flash + Card, 2009), and The Name of This Intersection Is Frost
