Molly Ivins
Many of us are mourning today the loss of Molly Ivins, the great Texas journalist who was a panelist at the Seminar in 2005. The topic that year was Humor and Ivins was, of course, hilarious. The New York Times (where Ivins worked for a spell but found the Gray Lady just too stuffy) has a nice obituary and the Houston Chronicle has a piece with a small sampling of her great lines. We were lucky she came to visit with us in Key West and our country was lucky to have her.

Each January, we explore a different literary theme through lectures, panel presentations, readings, informal gatherings, and discussions. In January 2011, we explore food in literature with our 29th annual Seminar, THE HUNGRY MUSE.
