AUBURN — Three authors tell the story behind the story, sharing the challenges and rewards of telling a personal story at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Woman’s Literary Union, 19 Elm St., for a reading and author talk, which will include light refreshment. The event is free and open to the public.
Poet Cheryl Wilder tells us about the night she made a split-second decision with tragic results, and why she has woven that story into her first full-length book.
Short story writer Claire Guyton reveals that she’s been writing about her pathological-liar mother, over and over again, in coded ways that rarely involve mother-daughter relationships.
Memoirist Suzanne Farrell Smith chose to write about the loss of her father when she was 6.
The Woman’s Literary Union was organized in 1892 with a mission of intellectual, cultural and educational advancement of the community and to preserve the Foss Mansion, which is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The WLU of Androscoggin County is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization. For more information check womansliteraryunion.org.
