Each Book Another Me: Mapping the Progression of Self Over a Career
Saturday, March 26, 2022
3:20 pm to 4:35 pm
One joy of being an avid reader is discovering a fresh voice, new to and in love with literary self-expression, but so, too, is there joy in following the growth of a voice over the course of an author’s lifetime. Each book is a time capsule of sorts: the representation of an individual’s understanding of the world, forever preserved on page. This event will feature writers in various stages of life, reflecting on all the people they’ve been over the years, charting out the many maps of the self.
