Here's an update to the Other Words schedule:
On Friday Philip F. Deaver will give a Fiction Workshop for those who
register for it. Here's his description: "Why write fiction? People
are always saying, 'I'd rather read something that's true.'
Why write fiction? Because people love stories? Because stories can
reshuffle 'what really happened' and find the central truths and
emotional core? Why write fiction? Because, truthfully, our fictions
are only partly fiction and are mostly true? Because sometimes the true
story is hard to tell even though it urgently needs telling? Why write
fiction? Because telling stories and hearing stories and learning from
stories, whether as the reader or the writer, is in our DNA? Yes, all
of that...."
