Enjoy an hour at the UP Bookstore with a reading by fiction writer Monica Drake. A longtime Portland fiction writer (and co-founder of a writing group that included fellow Portlander wordsmiths Strayed, Yuknavitch, Cain, and Palahniuk), Drake wrote the 2006 novel Clown Girl (which comedian Kristen Wiig optioned for a film), The Stud Book (2013), and a collection of linked stories The Folly of Loving Life (2016). She has been published in Paris Review Daily, The Rumpus, Longreads, Gay Magazine, Oregon Humanities Magazine, The Stranger, and other publications.
