Each of these panels promise to either raise questions that I often wrestle with as a novelist or simply provide a fascinating look at issues that aren't a part of my work but that are worth considering. I look forward to hearing the perspectives of writers from all over the world.
A little bit about me: I'm a novelist, a mother and a sometime teacher, currently at the Brooklyn College MFA program (chaired by the divine Michael Cunningham). My latest book is entitled Third Girl From the Left --it's about mothers, daughters, movies, history--all kinds of things. The novel before it is entitled The Fall of Rome. It's about race and class tensions in a New England prep school. You can learn more about my work by clicking on my PEN profile or at my website. Thanks! | | | |
