Tom Hallman, Jr. award winning writer, The Oregonian
Tom Hallman Jr., a senior reporter at The Oregonian, is considered one of the nation’s premier
narrative writers. 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.
