During his career, he has won every major feature-writing award, including a Pulitzer Prize. The author of four books, he also contributes to Readers Digest and the Saturday Evening Post magazines. A common thread in all of Hallman’s stories is the exploration of the character’s heart and soul. He believes that readers are bombarded and overwhelmed with facts, the answers to nearly any question found on the internet. What we long for, though, is meaning. To discover it, we must turn to story, which allows readers to grapple with our inherent longings for community, authenticity, mystery and meaning. Hallman will share some of his favorite stories, explain how he found them, and what he — and you — will learn from them. Hallman was born and raised in Portland. He graduated from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa in 1977. He’s worked at a car wash, a grocery store, a greyhound racetrack, and volunteered at a VA hospital. He was once an answer on “Jeopardy,” the television quiz show. His book, “Dispatches from 1320” — a collection of his work — is available on Amazon, and it will for sale at the event.
