Key West Literary Seminar

Hersey stamp

Posted by Nan Klingener on November 25, 2007 | |
hersey_stamp.jpg The late John Hersey, who was a writer of acclaimed works of fiction and nonfiction, including Hiroshima and the Pulitzer-winning A Bell for Adano, has a new honor: He's featured on a U.S. postal service stamp. Hersey lived in Key West for many years and was a beloved member of the literary community here. Each year, the seminar's opening address on Thursday night is named in his honor.

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.
