But this year, as we began to think of the three areas we’ll focus on at the 2010 festival—short fiction, humor and especially history—we found ourselves thinking more and more about where our desire to read came from. In the end, that motivation kept coming down to one simple, two-word question: What happened? That’s all we want to know, isn’t it? It’s why we turn the page, why we hang on every word an actor speaks, what we want to know as a co-worker recounts the weekend around the water cooler on Monday morning. We want to know what happened. It’s why we read and, for many of us, why we write. So this year we’ve filled our program with writers who answer that ques- tion in really interesting ways. This happens quickly in the history, short fic- tion and humor we’re featuring this year, of course, but really, it will happen during every reading, conversation and workshop because we have a great lineup. Thumb through this program quickly and you’ll see what I mean. It’s packed with phenomenal talent from around the world. We hope you enjoy it. By “we,” of course, I mean all the people listed on the page to the left, and all the people represented by the logos that grace the back cover of this program: our volunteers and sponsors. Simply put, Wordstock would not exist without their passion and dedication. I can’t thank them enough for their tireless work and hope you’ll thank them, too, when you see them at the festival’s many events. Greg Netzer Executive Director 6 | wordstock 2010 the wordstock book club: Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It Maile Meloy Powell’s Books Stage, Saturday, 2pm Rising star Maile Meloy’s latest collection, Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It (one of The New York Times’s “10 Best Books of 2009”), both expands and deepens the terrain she explored in her previous books—stories of opposites in collision. As described by the Los Angeles Times, “Meloy’s richest territory is the fork in the road at right and wrong, the moment when a person’s moral compass wavers.” Already the recipient of awards from The Paris Review and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, among others, this is a writer coming into her own as a chronicler of America’s maladies and triumphs. Her stories possess “a scope and matu- rity that at their most rigorous attain the grandeur of prophecy,” proclaims Slate magazine. Jonathan Lethem Powell’s Books Stage, Saturday, 3pm If ever there was an author who resisted easy classi- fication, it’s Jonathan Lethem. Throughout a bound- ary-crossing career that includes speculative fiction, crime fiction and autobiography—sometimes all within the same book—his avowed interest in “the taxonomy of genre” has garnered him a reputation as one of the headiest novelists writing in English © Mara Faye Lethem today. His latest novel, Chronic City, is no excep- tion. As The New York Times sees it, “This exuberant novel set in a drug- addled, alternate-reality Manhattan is at its heart a traditional story of moral and intellectual development.” A recipient of the coveted MacArthur Grant, Lethem is also a prolific essayist and short story writer. wordstock 2010 | 7 opening night! a special wordstock edition of Mortified! At Wordstock, we’re always looking for new ways to promote stories—the stories we read, the stories we hear, the stories we tell about our loved ones and ourselves. And in the spirit of hearing stories about ourselves, we’re bringing you a special, one-of-a-kind event featuring the national sensation Mortified. Mortified stars everyday people reading aloud their most embar- rassing, pathetic and private teenage diary entries, poems, love letters, lyrics and locker notes...in front of total strangers. Witness “personal redemption through public humiliation” in a refresh- ing show that is equal parts comedic, cathartic and voyeuristic. Join us for an evening of sharing—that is, sharing some of the most hilarious moments you’ll ever hear. On a stage, anyway.

In the spring of 2012, drawing upon Portland’s ethic of community engagement and creativity, a public call was sent out for brief written expressions of the times that would reflect upon the egalitarian, utilitarian and civic nature of this new infrastructure project. The call requested short lines of text (fifty characters or less) to be painted onto silt fencing during the temporary Art Starts Now phase and then stamped into sidewalk paving during the permanent Impressed Concrete phase. Eleven hundred submissions were received, and one hundred and two of them were selected as “orange lines” for use in the project through a blind-jury selection process.
