If anyone has been instrumental in keeping literary Portland weird, it’s Lidia Yuknavitch. From her bestselling books to her much-written-about writer’s group with local literary darlings Cheryl Strayed, Chuck Palahniuk, and Chelsea Cain, to her quirky, indescribable writing center in the Postal Building downtown, Yuknavitch has emerged as a literary force in this city: radical, inclusive, anti-establishment, and just really fucking weird. She's a writer for misfits in a city of misfits. Which isn’t to.
