Renee Macalino Rutledge: Powell's Q&A: Renee Macalino Rutledge, author of 'One Hundred Percent Me' (0 comment)
Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Awards » Oregon-Book-Award

Oregon Book Award

The Oregon Book Awards are presented annually by Literary Arts, Inc. for the finest accomplishments by Oregon writers who work in the genres of Fiction, Poetry, Literary Nonfiction, Drama, and Young Readers' Literature. Listed here are the winners in both Fiction and Nonfiction categories.

2022 Winners:


What Strange Paradise

Fiction

What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad

From the widely acclaimed, best-selling author of American War: a new novel — beautifully written, unrelentingly dramatic, and profoundly moving — that brings the global refugee crisis down to the level of a child’s eyes.

The Wretched Atom: America's Global Gamble with Peaceful Nuclear Technology

General Nonfiction

The Wretched Atom: America's Global Gamble with Peaceful Nuclear Technology by Jacob Darwin Hamblin

A groundbreaking narrative of how the United States offered the promise of nuclear technology to the developing world and its gamble that other nations would use it for peaceful purposes.

Plastic: An Autobiography

Creative Nonfiction

Plastic: An Autobiography by Allison Cobb

From nineteenth century London to ancient Rome and modern day Marshall Islands, Plastic: An Autobiography explores how technology, sprung from desire, draws all beings into its net, and asks how to live justly from within its grasp.

Instrument

Poetry

Instrument by Dao Strom

Dao Strom's Instrument is an experiment in multimodal poetics — inhabiting a synergistic blend of poetry, music, and visual art: the artist's three forms of "voice." Born in Vietnam and leaving the country at the age of two for Northern California, Strom's life and work speaks to fragmentation — of/within selves, histories, cultures, groups of people, and places — yet within this configuring lies her art's fluid mastery.

Taylor Before and After

Children's Literature

Taylor Before and After by Jennie Englund

In journal entries alternating between two timelines — before and after a tragic accident — Jennie Englund's heartfelt coming-of-age story, Taylor Before and After follows the year that changes one girl's life forever.

The Dead and the Dark

Young Adult Literature

The Dead and the Dark by Courtney Gould

Courtney Gould's thrilling YA debut The Dead and the Dark is about the things that lurk in dark corners, the parts of you that can't remain hidden, and about finding home in places — and people — you didn't expect.

Trespassers

Graphic Literature

Trespassers by Breena Bard

Gabby Woods is looking forward to another summer vacation at her family's lake house, even though she would rather bury herself in a mystery novel than make new friends. But soon Gabby meets Paige, a snarky kid from Chicago, and they get caught up in a local mystery: the sudden disappearance of a glamorous couple and the extravagant lake house they left behind.
