Trying to name the color of the sky--it's a silvery pewter,with a bit of quartz blended in. Busy weekend and so much fun including the heated and prolonged debate last night over the themes and ending of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle among my book group members. Brain is still reeling this morning and I had to go to www.absoluteshakespeare.com to review the plot and ending of Hamlet. You need to read this book.
But on to another book that sounds intriguing and fun and complicated. Last summer I met Melissa Hart at the Willamette Writers Conference. And was immediately taken with her --she's the sort of stylish, spunky, hip type that makes you wonder what is happening inside her head and of course, makes you want to read her writing. She teaches journalism at the University of Oregon and now her memoir Gringa: A Contradictory Girlhood Girl is in print. She's going to be at Powells on Hawthorne in Portland on Thursday at 7:30 and at Elliott Bay Book Co.in Seattle on Friday at 7:00. Here is a link to a review which should whet your appetite:
