Wednesday, March 5^th, 4:30pm.

Student Round table discussion: "The alchemy of fiction and Ethnography"

Location: 2B47 Kroch Library, Cornell University

With Colombian writer and A.D. White Professor-at-Large, Laura Restrepo

 

Like many Colombian novelists, Laura Restrepo first wrote professionally as a journalist.  In a visit to Cornell last year, she revealed that she initially turned to fiction when newspaper editors demanded proof for what she knew to be true.  Restrepo will explore the connections between fiction and reality and how Colombian events have influenced her writing.  She is particularly interested in meeting student writers and encouraging them to share their work in this informal setting.
