Somnambulist #10 is Martha's usual blend of stories, perhaps fiction and non. This issue focusing specifically on Portland Oregon, where she lives. "Nice White Girls" is a true story about a day spent reflecting on gentrification in Portland. Rents going up, and beloved establishments being evicted. It subtly touches on that sentiment of "gentrification sucks" while at the same time realizing that by comparison, the author can't fathom the scope of having been displaced by gentrification decades ago. Also, this issue is almost entirely stories about bars--going to them and the things that happen inside them.
