East Coast transplants to small-town Oregon, Scanlon has a position at the local universityâteaching mass movements and domestic radicalismâand Naomi is pregnant with their first child. But everything changes when they meet Clay, a troubled young anarchist who despises Scanlonâs self-serving attempts at friendship but adores Naomi. As the Pratts welcome their newborn son, their lives become so deeply entwined with Clayâs that they must decide exactly where their loyalties lie, before the increasingly volatile activism that theyâve been dabbling in engulfs them all. A love song to the Pacific Northwest, The Oregon Experiment explores the contemporary civil war between desire and betrayal, the political and the personal." 331 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
