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.
The journal of the Key West Literary Seminar features recordings from our
audio archives, exclusive interviews, essays, news about the Seminar, and
dispatches from Key West's literary past and present. It is created by Arlo
Haskell. Send email to arlo [at] kwls [dot] org
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.
