Jenn Shapland - “My Autobiography of Carson McCullers”

Monday February 10, 2020 07:00 PM EST
Cost: Free

From the venue:

In genre-defying vignettes, author Jenn Shapland interweaves her own story with Carson McCullers’s to create a vital new portrait of one of America’s most beloved writers, and shows us how the writers we love and the stories we tell about ourselves make us who we are. Shapland will appear in conversation with OU Professor Jessica Handler, author of “The Magnetic Girl.”
Jenn Shapland is a writer living in New Mexico. Her nonfiction has been published in Tin House, Outside, the Lifted Brow, Essay Daily, and elsewhere. She won the 2019 Rabkin Foundation Award for art journalism, and her essay “Finders, Keepers” won a 2017 Pushcart Prize. She teaches as an adjunct in the Creative Writing department at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. “My Autobiography of Carson McCullers” is her first book.
