KWLS writers on NYT blog
Since it started in May, the New York Times blog Paper Cuts, by Book Review editor Dwight Garner, has become a must-read -- and two recent items have KWLS connections. The first is a nice interview with Judy Blume, who is a Key Wester, a Seminar board member and a panelist at the 2008 seminar, New Voices (it's a two-parter, Judy's on for both sessions and tickets are still available). In the interview, Judy reveals that she'll soon be starting her own blog. We'll definitely be linking to that.
The second item is, unfortunately, a tragic one, reporting the death of Aura Estrada, wife of novelist Francisco Goldman. He was here for the 2004 seminar about immigration, titled Crossing Borders and if I'm not mistaken, Aura was here with him. He is a great writer and a hell of a nice guy. Our condolences go out to him.
