Pop-up: Marcelle Heath

Sat, Nov 5, 2022 from 1:30 pm - 1:50 pm PDT

General Admission Pass required for entry

Marcelle Heath pops-up in the Portland Art Museum galleries with her short story collection, Is That All There Is?.

Heath is paired with the artwork Mike Russo and Sally Haley by George Johanson; found in the Northwestern Art gallery, on the 3rd floor of the Portland Art Museum. Please reference the Portland Art Museum Map or the Portland Book Festival print program to find this location.


Borrowing from Peggy Lee, Is That All There Is? transforms the famed song’s fatalistic exuberance into a slim volume of minimalist and genre-blending narratives. From a vacation with friends to a retreat with strangers, danger lurks around every corner.

Spanning generations and continents, interweaving cursed travelers with prophetic artists, this book is a showcase of the luckless and lovelorn, the criminal and damned.


Portland Book Festival General Admission Passes are required for entry into all events. Passes are $15 in advance and $25 day of Festival. Youth 17 & under, or with a valid high school ID get in FREE. All full-priced General Admission Passes include a $5 book fair voucher and entry into Portland Art Museum. Passes admit attendees to the Festival; individual events are first-come, first-served. More info here.
