Oregon Book Awards Finalists Announced

The 2011 roster of Oregon Book Awards finalists is out and the list is long. This year's celebration of Oregon authors includes a Readers' Choice award. Vote for what you think is the worthiest work here. The ceremony to honor our best scribblers takes place April 25 at the Gerding Theater at the Armory.

Tickets are on sale now and likely to sell out in a flash.

Read 'em and weep. (WW's long been fascinated by Richmond Fontaine frontman and scribe Willy Vlautin--we even excerpted his last book--so you know who we're rooting for to win the Ken Kesey Award for Fiction.)
