Susan Kushner Resnick: January 2012 Archives
If you happen to be in Chicago on Thursday, March 1, please come hear me speak about creative nonfiction and truth on a panel called "What's Wrong with the Whole Truth?" We're on from 4-5:45. Information below.
(Susan Resnick, Philip Gerard, Peter Trachtenberg, Paige Williams)
Waldorf, Hilton Chicago, 3rd Floor
