Reading Portland is a literary exploration of the city's past and
present. In over eighty selections, Portland is revealed through
histories, memoirs, autobiographies, short stories, novels, and
news reports. This single volume gives voice to women and men; the
colonizers and the colonized; white, Hispanic, African American,
Asian American, and Indian storytellers; and lower, middle, and
upper classes. In his introduction, John Trombold considers the
history of writing about a place that has nourished a provocative
and errant literary tradition for over 150 years. In the preface,
Peter Donahue considers the influence of region--particularly
Portland's urbanity and its hybrid population--on literature.
Included here are the voices of Carl Abbott, Kathryn Hall Bogle,
Beverly Cleary, Robin Cody, Lawson Fusao Inada, Rudyard Kipling,
Ursula K. Le Guin, Joaquin Miller, Sandy Polishuk, Gary Snyder, Kim
Stafford, Elizabeth Woody, and many more.
