The Writer's Journey with Laura Davis
Is there a writer in you that wants to come out? If you have stories you want to tell or would like to explore writing as a way to know yourself better, join local author Laura Davis for her monthly introductory evening of writing practice. Being part of an impromptu writing community is inspiring, illuminating, and fun. You don't have to pre-register. Just bring a notebook, a pen, and the willingness to write; Laura will bring writing prompts that will open the channel from your heart to your head to your pen.
Gary Shteyngart is one of our staff's favorite authors. Edgy, pristine, funny, and simultaneously heartfelt, each of his novels have landed themselves in our newsletters and onto our staff favorite shelves. Shteyngart's new novel, Super Sad True Love Story, only confirms our admiration.
In what critics are calling the 1984 for our current generation, Super Sad True Love Story envisions a deliciously dark tale of America's dysfunctional coming years--and the timeless and tender feelings that just might bring us back from the brink. A love story set in the near future (think next week) this book explores how falling in love just might redeem a planet falling apart.
Santa Cruz's own Rick Kleffel will be here to facilitate the reading and will ask Gary just the right questions to get even more from this already fantastically funny and zany author. Rick is the host of The Agony Column, an hour of literary and theatrical talk Sundays on KUSP, 88.9 FM, and nationally broadcast NPR syndications. He is one of the most listened to and requested literary interviewers out there.
Please join us for what is sure to be a terrific event!
