Theresa Griffin Kennedy

    Theresa Griffin Kennedy je spisovatelka, která se věnuje tvůrčímu nežánru a gonzo žurnalistice. Její styl se vyznačuje hyperrealistickou literární fikcí a poetickými eseji, často zasazenými do historických profilů obyvatel Portlandu. Kennedy se zasazuje o sociální změny skrze psaní, které vnímá jako společenský akt. Její tvorba, inspirovaná otcovým důrazem na rozmanitost psaní, zkoumá různorodá témata s jedinečným a pronikavým pohledem.

    Murder & Scandal in Prohibition Portland: Sex, Vice & Misdeeds in Mayor Baker's Reign
    • The 1917 election of Mayor George Luis Baker ushered a long era of unscrupulous greed into Portland government. While supposedly enforcing prohibition laws, Baker ordered police chief Leon Jenkins to control and profit from the bootlegging market. Baker filled city coffers and his friends' pockets with booze-soaked cash while sensational headlines like the 1929 affair between policeman Bill Breuning and informant Anna Schrader scandalized the city. Maligned in the press, Schrader executed a bitter campaign to recall the mayor. In 1933, a hired gunman murdered special investigator to the governor Frank Aiken a day before he would have filed a report on corruption in the city government. Authors JD Chandler and Theresa Griffin Kennedy unearth the salacious details of Baker's crooked administration in a revelatory account of prohibition in the Rose City.
