Where: Building 9 - Lecture Hall 2325
Description
Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 9:16 AM from New York City. The first time that I have typed the year "2012." Not true. I must have sent emails to friends -- "Happy New Year!" "Happy 2012!" I wish it was true so I could connect now to an imaginary audience at Kaust. A stranger always feels a need to bring a gift.;;Everyone has fiction upside down -- it doesn't have much to do with reality. "What happened?" is a very hard question to answer accurately. Good fiction starts this way: what happened next? There are only three kinds of narratives and they have all been written to the end. Writing is a compulsive person's need to share specifics.
Quang Bao
Quang Bao was born in Can Tho, Vietnam. He came to the US when he was six years old. He studied English literature, writing and arts management at Boston University and Columbia University. He has written reviews, fiction and nonfiction for The New York Times, The Boston Globe, National Public Radio and The International Herald Tribune, edited anthologies on writing and visual art and currently collaborating on an art book and exhibition with Romanian artist Dimitru Gorzo, to be showcased in March, 2012. He is writing his first theatrical production entitled "Miss.” His favorite writing job ever was the year he spent writing an advice column for a California newspaper.
Wendy Keyes
Wendy Williams Keyes grew up in Greater Boston and graduated with a degree in viola performance from the New England Conservatory of Music. She has taught violin and viola and performed with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, the Arietta String Trio, the Virginia Symphony, and most recently as principal violist with the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony (of New York City).
