Portland's Wordstock opens a new chapter, heavy on local writers. The book festival still has its literary fiction and poetry, now mixed in with mysteries and graphic novels. Sunday, November 09, 2008 JEFF BAKER, The Oregonian Staff, Mark Hammond, "the only bearded Elvis in Portland", sang and handed scarves to anyone within reach. Hammond, the Elvis impersonator, complained that "the powers that be" made him turn the volume down on his 30-watt amp. He was helping promote his friend Doc Macomber's novel "Snip" and said, "Portland is an Elvis town."
And it is a reading town.
