Leslie will teach two workshops at The Ink Spot: Editing Your Work: Vision and Revision on Saturday, Feb. 6, and Bring Your Characters to Life, Sunday, Feb. 7.
"In her fifth novel, Greenwood calls grief by another name—starvation. The Mason family, devastated by the loss of 16-year-old Franny, spends the summer in Vermont, far from home in San Diego. Renowned novelist Sam Mason cannot conjure the words that used to come so easily to him before the death of his daughter: 'the words are too thin, as fragile and brittle as bones.' Sam can no longer connect, especially not with his wife, Mena, and begins to waste away. Hunger proves to be a powerful metaphor for the family’s loss and desires..." "...the author knows how to make her characters’ suffering wrench readers’ hearts."
"Few women have kept me as worried and curious and awake at night as Cora Sledge…. Read Breaking Out of Bedlam to see redemption." Copies of T.Greenwood and Leslie Larson's books will be available for purchase at the reading.
