Experience the "Real Las Vegas" Through Writings About Reinvention
In a wide-ranging anthology that moves from the ancient artists of southern Nevada who carved petroglyphs into rock walls to contemporary family trauma, 10 Las Vegas essayists examine the weight of the past on the present--and, perhaps, the future. Set in and around a city with its own peculiar and complicated relationship to the very idea of history, these eclectic stories, essays, and poems examine the topic from a variety of surprising directions.
Go back in time to visit the basket-weaving tribes that predate the city's founding. Experience the heady midcentury days of freewheeling law enforcement. Follow an abuse survivor as she revisits the sites of family torment. Join a young African-American man as he experiences a racial epiphany in the county morgue. Listen in as a photographic model ponders the psychology of the men who hire her to recreate urgent moments from their pasts.
Through such stories, this collection--the 10th volume in the Las Vegas Writes series--presents a singular view of a city that's forever negotiating the uneasy passage between then and now.

Reading Portland is a literary exploration of the city's past and present. In over eighty selections, Portland is revealed through histories, memoirs, autobiographies, short stories, novels, and news reports. This single volume gives voice to women and men; the colonizers and the colonized; white, Hispanic, African American, Asian American, and Indian storytellers; and lower, middle, and upper classes.
In his introduction, John Trombold considers the history of writing about a place that has nourished a provocative and errant literary tradition for over 150 years. In the preface, Peter Donahue considers the influence of region--particularly Portland's urbanity and its hybrid population--on literature.
Included here are the voices of Carl Abbott, Kathryn Hall Bogle, Beverly Cleary, Robin Cody, Lawson Fusao Inada, Rudyard Kipling, Ursula K. Le Guin, Joaquin Miller, Sandy Polishuk, Gary Snyder, Kim Stafford, Elizabeth Woody, and many more.
