Summary
With Carla Stockton & Laurie Spigel
Wednesday, November 13, 7 PM, Free to attend
Adirondack Center for Writing (15 Broadway, Saranac Lake, NY 12983)
Join Saranac Lake graduate Carla Stockton and her colleague Laurie Spigel – both female authors who published their first books after age 50 – for a discussion on publishing, feminism, educating children at home and in schools, and smalltown/city living. Each author will share a brief excerpt of their latest work and then we'll have a panel discussion, so bring your questions!
Books will be for sale at the event, including Stockton's brand new memoir, Too Much of Nothing: Notes on Feminism, Identity, and Womanhood. Stockton, a first-generation American boomer, recounts her life as a series of vignettes that begin with her mother’s escape from Europe before WWII and end with her own escape from a stultifying marriage. Stockton's story is a meditation on the meaning of survival, the importance of family, and the power of self-discovery. With humor and heart, she explores the challenges and triumphs of a life lived in the shadow of history.
