Lidia Yuknavitch at Broadway Books

The Chronology of Water, the intensely powerful memoir by local author Lidia Yuknavitch, was a top-ten bestseller at independent bookstores throughout Portland, Oregon in 2011 — and continues to sell and sell.

Besides winning a boatload of awards and recognitions, the book is a finalist for an Oregon Book Award (OBA ceremony is April 23). The book also was one of six books selected for recognition by the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association.

Local bookstore supporter that she is, Lidia has opted to receive her PNBA Award at Broadway Books! Portlanders, come on out on Tuesday, March 6th, at 7 pm for some nosh and celebratory beverages with which to toast Lidia (and her local publisher, Hawthorne Books) and to hear Lidia read from her book. And maybe she’ll tell us just a little bit about her forthcoming novel, due out in the fall.

Come out!

When:Tuesday, March 6th 7:00 PM
What: Lidia Yuknavitch’s Award Ceremony
