Acclaimed and beloved novelist Hilma Wolitzer will lead the discussion at the April 8 session of the PEN Writers' Roundtable Series to be held at Paragraph, the writers' space near Union Square. Please join us if you would like to discuss the art and craft of fiction writing—and of the character-driven novel—and the joys and rigors of the writer's life. The event is open to all working writers in the New York metropolitan area. Membership in PEN is not required. The PEN Writers' Roundtable is moderated by Jennifer Vanderbes and Barbara Fischkin.
 
Hilma Wolitzer is the author of several novels, including The Doctor's Daughter, Summer Reading, and Hearts, as well as a non-fiction book, The Company of Writers. She's taught at Bread Loaf and in the writing programs at The University of Iowa, Columbia University, and NYU and is often praised by critics and other writers. "The Doctor's Daughter reminds us what novels can do," noted essayist Adam Gopnick of The New Yorker. "Wolitzer takes a simple, touching, human situation and enlarges it into a heartbreaking and permanent story of loss and renewal."
