Synopsis Shadowlands by : Anthony McCann
An “epic exploration” of the 2016 right-wing Oregon Occupation-"an excellent microcosm by which we might better understand our difficult national history and distressing political moment” (Maggie Nelson). In 2016, a group of armed, divinely inspired right-wing protestors led by Ammon Bundy occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in the high desert of eastern Oregon. Encamped in the shadowlands of the republic, insisting that the Federal government had no right to own public land, the occupiers were seen by a divided country as either dangerous extremists dressed up as cowboys, or as heroes insisting on restoring the rule of the Constitution. From the Occupation's beginnings, to the trials of the occupiers in federal court in downtown Portland and their tumultuous aftermaths, Shadowlands is the resonant, multifaceted story of one of the most dramatic flashpoints in the year that gave us Donald Trump. Sharing the expansive stage with the occupiers are a host of others-Native American tribal leaders, public-lands ranchers, militia members, environmentalists, federal defense attorneys, and Black Lives Matter activists-each contending in their different ways with the meaning of the American promise of Liberty. Gathering into its vortex the realities of social media technology, history, religion, race, and the environment-this piercing work by Anthony McCann offers us a combination of beautiful writing and high-stakes analysis of our current cultural and political moment. Shadowlands is a clarifying, exhilarating story of a nation facing an uncertain future and a murky past in a time of great collective reckoning.

Synopsis Not True Stories from Oregon by : Arran N. Gimba
An eclectic and original assortment of imaginative scenarios centered on Oregonian oddballs, characters, and just-plain folk make up Not True Stories from Oregon, a short story collection of highly unique and powerful tales of the human condition. Arran Gimba paints a broad portrait of the gritty and fascinating extremes that make up the human experience. Part fantasy, part slice of life, these twenty-one stories exhibit the worst fears and most impractical dreams of ordinary people. "Love is Over-Rated" tells of an anti-cupid who suddenly finds a conscience when he sees the impact of his calling. Three young students are drawn into the latest technology craze with disastrous consequences in "zPhone," while a hospital receptionist discovers that obsessing about the wrong thing can lead to a rude attitude adjustment in "Watch for Little Brother." Filled with stark and realistic situations and absorbing, multi-dimensional characters, Not True Stories from Oregon brings a seasoned and original voice to the short story form, exploring Oregon in all its wonderful weirdness.

Synopsis The Chronology of Water by : Lidia Yuknavitch
This is not your mother’s memoir. In The Chronology of Water, Lidia Yuknavitch, a lifelong swimmer and Olympic hopeful escapes her raging father and alcoholic and suicidal mother when she accepts a swimming scholarship which drug and alcohol addiction eventually cause her to lose. What follows is promiscuous sex with both men and women, some of them famous, and some of it S&M, and Lidia discovers the power of her sexuality to help her forget her pain. The forgetting doesn’t last, though, and it is her hard-earned career as a writer and a teacher, and the love of her husband and son, that ultimately create the life she needs to survive.
