Her memoir, “Ma and Me” explores the legacy of trauma and cultural identity, and how Reang navigated her complicated upbringing. Reang was raised in rural Oregon and spent time writing for The Spokesman-Review before the New York Times, Politico and The Seattle Times and the San Jose Mercury News. Her mother fought off the boat captain’s efforts to toss her child overboard, and that connection began their intricate relationship. Putsata Reang emigrated from Cambodia as an infant in her mother’s arms. Sottile will be joined in conversation on stage with Spokesman-Review crime/city reporter Emma Epperly. Her book, “When the Moon Turns to Blood” (release date June 21) hits local with the Rexburg, Idaho, case of former beauty queen Lori Vallow and her husband, grave digger turned doomsday novelist, Chad Daybell. To say that “religious extremism” is her beat wouldn’t be far off. Sottile is an award-winning journalist influenced by mentors Bill Morlin and aforementioned Jess Walter and his coverage of Ruby Ridge. Leah Sottile’s byline is familiar to Spokane readers. Auntie’s Bookstore will be at the Bing selling copies of Walter’s book, as well as that of his conversation partner, Spokesman-Review columnist, Shawn Vestal.
The VIP reception is sold out, general admission tickets are still available for $7. Two of the stories originally appeared in The Spokesman-Review’s short story series, Summer Stories.
Northwest Passages is proud to partner with Auntie’s Bookstore to assist with the June 28 launch of Jess Walter’s collection of short stories, “The Angel of Rome and Other Stories.” Holbert will open the evening with a poem and talk specifically about the challenges artists, authors and poets have during the Ukrainian war. Natalka Bilotserkivets’ “Eccentric Days of Hope & Sorry” translated by Ali Kinsella and Dzvinia Orlowsky has been short listed for the Griffin Prize for Poetry.
