Saturday, October 31, 2009 — 2:00 – 3:00 — Capitol Extension Room E2.028

CodePink co-founder Diane Wilson will take part in a panel discussion this Saturday, October 31st at the Texas Book Festival. Here is a bit about the panel from the festival website:

My Most Unforgettable Character: Me
with Nadine Eckhardt, Diana Welch, and Diane Wilson

Writing about yourself when someone is actually going to read your writing is trickier than it may seem. Which aspects of your life do you reveal, which do you not? How do you write about other people who may not want to be written about? What are the impulses behind digging into your past and why did these writers listen to those impulses? We’ve gathered three thoughtful and gutsy women (see below) to be in conversation about writing about oneself. Carol Dawson, author of four critically-acclaimed novels including The Mother in-Law Diaries, will moderate the session.

Authors:
Diane Wilson
Diana Welch
Nadine Eckhardt
Moderated By: Carol Dawson

And, here’s a link to a short bio on Diane along with some details about her book, Holy Roller: Growing up in the Church of Knock Down, Drag Out; or, How I Quit Loving a Blue-Eyed Jesus.
