Tilt by Emma Pattee Tuesday July 29 at 5.30
Set over the course of a single day, an electrifying debut novel following one woman’s journey across a transformed city, carrying the weight of her past and a fervent hope for the future.

Annie is nine months pregnant and shopping for a crib at IKEA when a massive earthquake hits Portland, Oregon. With no way to reach her husband, no phone or money, and a city left in chaos, there’s nothing to do but walk. Making her way across the wreckage of Portland, Annie experiences human desperation and kindness: strangers offering help, a riot at a grocery store, and an unlikely friendship with a young mother. As she walks, Annie reflects on her struggling marriage, her disappointing career, and her anxiety about having a baby. If she can just make it home, she’s determined to change her life.

Narbone FRANCE
with Johnna Studebaker
Saturday May 24th, 2025 5 pm
There are few places in the world superior to southern Beautiful Narbonne, perched on the Canal de la Robine, and near the sparkling blue Mediterranean, full of history and charm! Famous for its early Roman presence, its Gothic Cathédrale, and les Halles, its indoor food market. This is the old Languedoc region of southeastern France, the land of the Cathar châteaux, the Knights Templars, and the ever-present lore of the Magdalene. Come join me as we explore la belle ville Narbonne.
