Jim Campbell reading in Portland, OR
After Jim Campbell’s reading at Powells last Thursday a bunch of us gathered at The Rose and Raindrop for beer and conversation. Jim and my brother Sam are friends from their college days.
Jim, second from the right, refused to sign our copy of his recently published non-fiction book, The Final Frontiersman, until he’d had a couple pints.
Jim starts the book with two interesting quotes:
“It is not on any map. True Places never are.” -Herman Melville, Moby Dick
“I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love.” -Leo Tolstoy, Family Happiness
I look forward to reading Jim’s book.
