Monica Drake on Oregon Art Beat
We really liked this Oregon Art Beat program featuring Hawthorne Books author Monica Drake when it came out a few years ago. It’s such a good slice of Monica, her Hawthorne title Clown Girl, and the rich and wacky literary world of Portland that we decided to put it on the blog this week. We also love that one of our favorite local media folks — Kelly Clarke, arts and culture editor at Willamette Week — was interviewed for the show.
If you haven’t read Clown Girl yet you can buy a copy directly from us for $10 including shipping and handling. And although I don’t think we really have to sell you on it at this point you should know what Chuck Palahniuk said about the book: “Clown Girl is more than a great book. Clown Girl is its own reality.”
Go clown around!
