Even if you missed the event last week, it's not too late to pick up a copy of Tami Parr's "Goats in America." 🐐
"The book . . . is information dense, so much so that the weight of information would be difficult to digest were it not that Parr’s writing style is so crisp and conversational."

Oregon ArtsWatch @orartswatch.org · 23d

Parr will talk goats — from the conquistadors to goat cheese to goat yoga — on Sept. 18 at Powell's Books on Hawthorne.

Thank you @orartswatch.org. This is a great piece on Stephen Forrester's new book!

"Forrester clearly admires Neuberger, and has done an impressive decades-long research job, but does not intrude with assertive judgments, letting the story speak for itself." —Oregon ArtsWatch
