Powells book event: NBBC best recommended books February 11, 2008
Portland, Oregon
NBCC Best Recommended Books
Before the Internet, book recommendations were passed by word-of-mouth or through book reviews in magazines and newspapers. Nowadays book websites and blogs abound. But with all this connectivity, the National Book Critics Circle (www.bookcritics.org, home of the new monthly Best Recommended List) felt the need to get back to the roots of recommendations by asking award-winning novelists, historians, poets, critics, and biographers which books topped their lists in 2007. Please join critic Ellen Heltzel, authors Katherine Dunn, Chelsea Cain, and Peter Rock, and Community of Writers founder Larry Colton for a discussion on good books, good reviews, and how much difference reviews make.
Monday, February 11th @ 7:30pm Powell's City of Books on Burnside
