Oregon author Brian Doyle will read from and sign his new novel “Martin Marten” at Paulina Springs Books in Sisters. Doyle, author of many previous books including the much-acclaimed “Mink River,” is a marvelous storyteller whose stageworthy public speaking skills will have you laughing, applauding, and maybe crying. His new book, set onOregon’s Mt. Hood, is two stories in one. The first is that of a 14-year-old boy named Dave, who is growing up in the hamlet of Zig Zag; the second is of a marten named Martin, who, like Dave, is coming of age. Needless to say,their separate lives will ultimately mix and mingle, for both are animals existing in the same habitat. Enjoy meeting Brian Doyle and hearing his unique, evocative prose. Refreshments will be served and we’ll hold a raffle for a free copy of Doyle’s book. $5.00 admission will be refunded upon purchase of the featured book.
