HANDLING THE TRUTH: a first reading and discussion, at Penn

Thursday, January 24, 2013


I am grateful to the famous professor and Kelly Writers House leader Al Filreis for sharing this clip with me yesterday.  It brings back a beautiful day, late last October, when I first read from Handling the Truth and joined Cynthia Kaplan, James Martin, and John Prendergast in a conversation about the making of memoir.

This is WONDERFUL, Beth!!! I am so grateful to have gotten to share these moments with you and "Handling the Truth." (I'll be watching it again and again.) xo

Oh, these are such beautiful words to start my morning and I've already learned so much through them and the discussion afterwards. I would love to curl up in the corner of your classroom and just...listen. What happened to the kitty?

Very interesting, what you said at the end about having to be afraid ...

This makes me want to read your book—and to track down that essay on John Gardener!

So well said -- and read!
