Key West Literary Seminar

Our archives contain more than 20 years of unique presentations by some of the world's most influential writers. The best of these recordings are now being digitized and released online in .mp3 format for use by educators, students, and readers worldwide.

Each January, the Seminar explores a different literary theme through lectures, panel presentations, readings, informal gatherings, and discussions. In January 2014 we celebrate our 32nd anniversary with The Dark Side.
