Okay, it’s a surprisingly cheesy pun for such a highbrow event, but nonetheless, Wordstock has managed to pull down some very serious and respected authors to headline the Portland, Oregon book festival this upcoming weekend of April 21.
Among the 250 authors participating in readings, book signings, and workshops will be Dave Eggers, Gore Vidal, David James Duncan, Joyce Carol Oates, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Ira Glass.
With that line-up, I’m willing to forgive the bad pun and book it (no pun intended) up to Portland for a little literary expedition myself.
