Allen Widerburg, a Clacka mas English instructor, coordinates the readings. “This term we have a class in mystery fiction, (and) detective fiction,” he said. Wider- burg said it would be a good idea to correlate the course and read ings. “We’ve never had mystery writers here before (for Authors’ night),” he continued. Two of the writers, Earl Emerson and Stephen Green leaf, are from Seattle. Emer son, who has been nominated for the Edgar award, the high est honor for mystery fiction, is a firefighter, and sometimes puts firefighting in his novels. He often sets his tales in Seattle and Portland. Greenleaf, whom Widerburg calls “one of the best mystery writers in the country,” wrote the John Marshall Tannen se ries. Thè New Republic described him as “the best successor to the Raymond Chandler-Ross MacDonald tradition to come along in a decade.” Vince Kohler, the third writer to appear at Authors’ Night, lives in Portland and is a reporter for The Oregonian. He is the author of "The Rainy North Woods," a comical novel that takes place in a fictional Oregon town. “I thought his book would be an interesting contrast to the other writers’ books,” Widerburg said. The format for the night is simple. FirstEmerson, Greenleaf and Kohler will read from their books, then the audience will have the opportunity to ask them ques tions. It is scheduled to run from 7 to 9 p.m., but it could end later, depending on how long the dis cussion runs. Authors’ Night is a free event open to the public. However, a donation of $2 to Friends of the Library would be appreciated. The money collected would be used to help buy more books for the college library.
