Join me Monday June 22, 2020 at 7 pm PST, for this special, statewide broadcast on Oregon Public Radio, to celebrate the finalists and announce the winners of the 2020 Oregon Book Awards. Lowriders Blast from the Past is a finalist for the Eloise Jarvis McGraw Award for Children’s Literature. It will be hosted, as originally planned, by writers Omar El Akkad and Elena Passarello.

Literary Arts is thrilled to be able to celebrate these awards in a way that is accessible to even more people, and grateful for our partnership with OPB, which helps bring the work of writers to tens of thousands of Oregonians year-round.
