Just the TITLES of Brian Doyle's book entice you to learn more; works like "The Wet Engine: Exploring the Mad Wild Miracle of the Heart," and "Bin Laden's Bald Spot & Other Stories."
And those are just the tip of a very large iceberg. Doyle is not just a prolific writer, he is the editor of the well-regarded Portland Magazine at the University of Portland.
And for an appearance on Monday night (Jan. 22) at Ashland High School. He stops by the studio to talk about his work and his many inspirations in fiction and non-fiction.
