Glaciers & A Simple Machine, Like the Lever reading

Description: We are so pleased to host this reading for two books from Portland writers-Glaciers by Alexis M. Smith and A Simple Machine, Like the Lever by Evan P. Schneider. Virginia Thayer had this to say about Evan’s book in the Portland Mercury,

A Simple Machine, Like the Lever might be your journal. Yes, you, bike-commuting, navel-gazing, cigarette-smoking, alt-weekly-reading Portlander. Evan P. Schneider’s subtle debut novel, the second title out from local indie press Propeller Books, is very much of its time and place.

Perhaps you are working a job you don’t much care about. Perhaps you are picking up things from free boxes on the street and selling books you never got around to reading in a slow but earnest attempt to chip away at some looming debt. Perhaps you are trying to look better to the person you’re dating. Perhaps your cats watch you drink whiskey in the bathtub. Probably you overthink the small things. It’s okay. Nick Allander does, too.

I haven’t gotten to read it yet, but the review certainly made me want to when I read it back in November, long before this reading was planned.

Glaciers I have read and I loved it. It’s set mostly in Portland and is the story of Isabel, who loves to hang around in vintage stores & has sentimental attachments to old photographs she finds. Hmm, that sounds familiar. The review by Kevin Sampsell-another great Portland writer-says this,

Glaciers is a carefully precise and beautiful meditation on one young woman’s restless heart. It resonates like a haunting postcard from someone else’s life.

We hope you’ll join us to welcome these writers reading from their books. We are so delighted to have them.
