Writers often create characters different from themselves in one way or another. When such a character is depicted as “belonging” to a distinct, recognizable group—perhaps a minority,
what is the writer’s responsibility toward representing the “other” accurately—if any? Are there comparable challenges for one who writes from a marginalized position?
The International Authors series provides an opportunity for the community to meet and converse with writers from around the world who are the 2022 Fall Writers in Residence at the University of Iowa International Writing Program. The series is sponsored by The UI International Writing Program and The Iowa City Public Library.
This event is also part for the 2022 Iowa City Book Festival, sponsored by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature. .
If you need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this event, please contact the Library.
This event is open to the public.
