The Elliott Bay Book Company

Here from Portland is Robin Cody, long one of the Northwest's finest writers and one of its most acute observers. He is the author two time-tested books—Ricochet River and Voyage of a Summer Sun—that have both been selected for the Oregon State Library's "150 Oregon Books for the Oregon Sesquicentennial." And, Robin Cody is here this evening with a collection of essay pieces, Another Way the River Has: Taut True Tales from the Northwest (Oregon State University Press). "Robin Cody populates his wonderful essays with compelling Northwest characters so vigorous and colorful they might have stepped from the pages of a Kesey novel. Powerful rivers surge through these pages, too, honoring the people who fathom their depths ... This collection illustrates that the most unforgettable character proves to be Cody himself—empathetic, clear-eyed, humorous. This remarkable Northwest book is a rare gift—worth owning and sharing." - Craig Lesley.
