SUMMARY:NW Authors Series Presents Rachel King
DESCRIPTION:The NW Authors Series will welcome Portland author Rachel King 
 at 2:00pm on Saturday\, February 22 at the Cannon Beach Library. Patrons c

 \nKing was a finalist for the 2024 Oregon Book Award for Fiction for her s
 hort story collection\, “Bratwurst Haven.” Set in a small town in Colo
 rado a decade after the Great Recession\, “Bratwurst Haven” is a colle
 ction of twelve interrelated stories about the employees of the St. Anthon
 y Sausage factory. King explores the struggles of the low-wage workers in 
 the factory—a laid-off railway engineer\, an exiled computer whiz\, an o
 lder man with cancer but no health insurance—as they help and comfort on
 e another in America’s postindustrial economy.\nRachel King is an editor
  and author of two poetry chapbooks\, the novel People Along the Sand\, wh
 ich centers on the passing of the 1967 Beach Bill\, and the linked short-s
 tory collection Bratwurst Haven\, winner of a 2023 Colorado Book Award and
  finalist for a 2024 Oregon Book Award. Her short stories have appeared in
  journals such as One Story\, North American Review\, and Northwest Review
 \, and her books have been featured in outlets such as the Oregonian\, Bou
 lder Weekly\, and the Colorado Review. Inspired by her relatives’ and he
 r own experiences\, she often writes fiction that explores exile\, land us
 e issues\, mental health\, and/or workers’ rights. Rachel worked in edit
 ing jobs for over a dozen years\, and currently assists in the labor and c
 ommunication departments at a nurses’ union. When not writing or working
 \, Rachel enjoys reading\, walking\, and acting.
