Willy Vlautin, author from Portland, Oregon

A friend took us to Powell's Bookstore where we met this local author.


He read a little to us from his newest book, his third. . .
Then, he autographed books.  I bought all three of his and almost have the  latest one read.  It takes place at Portland Meadows and I feel like I am there as I am familiar with the area.  The book is called, "Lean on Pete" which is the name of a horse at the race track but the story is about a 15 year old and his relationship with this horse.  I have only half of it read. . . Ü  (Now have it all read!)

The author also wrote "The Motel Life" and "Northline."
