Two Memoirists Needed
Next Thursday, a new memoir class, another incarnation of my "So Write Already" series, begins in West Hartford -- another chance for a person so inclined to enter a seminar room of strangers, risk everything by putting her talent on the line, decide that she won't read her stuff aloud (until she changes her mind because others seem so willing to do it), have a few laughs (some at their teacher's expense), dip into a reading list of exceptional published memoirs, and ultimately produce, over the course of eight consecutive Thursday early evenings, work that she is proud of. We have two openings left. Call Elana (860.231.6327), at the Greater Hartford Jewish Community Center. And no, you don't have to be Jewish. Or, for that matter, be a woman. I simply had to settle on a pronoun. The last class included Philip Ettman, whose memoir, The "F" Word, set a standard for insight and humor -- we'll be reading that in class.Posted by:Lary Bloom at 10:15 AM
