THE BACK ROOM ANTHOLOGY.

the project that started one pot. the back room.

the anthology is beautiful and shows just what a table can create - writings by gore vidal, matthew stadler, walid raad, lawrence wechsler, stephanie snyder... the list goes on...

read the intro here - it might be the best introduction to the over-hyped rise of ripe (in portland) and its scandalous explosion.




the back room:
an anthology
(Clear Cut Press: Portland, Ore.)

This book collects documents of the ongoing conversations of the back room. Some were commissioned by and for the back room, others emerged from conversations started there, and a few merely bear a family resemblance. The collection is meant to inspire and inform copycat efforts in other cities.
