Excavation: A Memoir | Wendy C. Ortiz

"There was something important about never fully acknowledging what was happening between us. It was the thinnest bubble, a membrane I might burst if I settled on it for too long."

"I felt thirteen, which was becoming more rare. *We are bowling,* I thought. *This is safe. I‘m having fun.*"

Excavation: A Memoir | Wendy C. Ortiz
Pickpick

A raw, sometimes difficult to read memoir of a girl's coming of age and saving herself through her writing. Along the way she experiences the jolts of power and vulnerability that define adolescence, and thrashes her way through an illegal sexual relationship with a teacher and a panoply of drug use while her alcoholic parents issue wan admonitions. A beautiful, fierce voice.

I really restrained myself at Powell's for Day 2. I only did that by limiting my time physically in the store! Crazy how that works. Tomorrow is my last day. I still have a visit to Elliot Bay this weekend left!! Book trips are great trips.

ForestAvenuePress Fantastic choices! Rene Denfeld and Monica Drake are Portlanders and Monica and Wendy's publisher, Kevin Sampsell, works at Powell's 8y
ReadingEnvy Will you take 26 out to the bay? Have you been to camp 18 before? Recommended (go hungry!!) 8y
HardcoverHearts @ForestAvenuePress - I met an old friend/ex-coworker for coffee and she has been doing the Grief Rites readings that just won the Portland Best of awards. She gave me those specific recommendations! I will tell her they were approved! 😉 8y

HardcoverHearts @ReadingEnvy - I have no idea yet of the route. Thanks to the Waze app, I no longer get road trip anxiety. And I haven't heard of camp 18, but I will certainly add it to the list! We are headed from Portland to The Gorge for a concert and overnight camping then onto Seattle afterwards. Then a race back home to get back to work. Whirlwind of a tour! Thank you for the recommendations! 8y
ReadingEnvy @HardcoverHearts enjoy, I just love my home state so much 8y
ForestAvenuePress I look forward to your thoughts as you read them! 8y
