The Deschutes Public Library Foundation presents the fourth annual A Novel Idea…Read Together program with a book that celebrates the spirit of Oregon through the life of one man who represented all of the characteristics of the earliest Pioneers blended with sheer genius, humor, and grit.
The 2007 selected read is Bowerman and the Men of Oregon by author Kenny Moore. The book describes the life of Bill Bowerman, the University of Oregon’s legendary coach and co-founder of Nike. Author Kenny Moore, a former senior writer for Sports Illustrated and a world-class runner under Bowerman's tutelage, delivers a fully realized portrait of this complicated man.
A Novel Idea kicks off April 16 and will run for four weeks, culminating with author Kenny Moore reading at the Tower Theatre in Bend, Oregon on Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12.
