PDX Portland 2022 Spring-Fall

Book excerpt: Who Decides Who You Are? The personal is political. — Carol Hanisch What if you know something, but you're not sure what it is you know, and moreover, you're not sure anyone would believe you if you told them? P3 — Percy Abbott III — is afraid to find out. Jennifer's willingness to copyedit the reams of writing by inexperienced reporters makes the newsroom favorite. Nobody messes with the copyeditor! It's a rule. (And this gang of non-conformists have few rules they're willing to abide by.) But going out for coffee isn't going to hurt anything. Right? Portland is famous for its literary community of writers, readers, bookstores, coffeehouses, and literary magazines like the Portland Review — a part of Newsroom PDX. Covid had been devastating, but the literary community is coming back. But the scars from the pandemic haven't gone away. This is the seventh omnibus in Newsroom PDX, a pollical suspense series about a college newsroom in downtown Portland during some of the most tumultuous times the city has ever faced. Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. Rather like the city itself. This omnibus includes Who Do I Tell?, My Body, and A Literary Life.
