Compliments to Brian for bringing Terese Svoboda to WestConn for October 10th reading of her memoir Black Glasses Like Clark Kent and Saturday morning workshop on creative nonfiction. Her writing, as well as her teaching is a gift to those who value truth over sentiment, objectivity over nuance and letting stories reveal their own moments of compassion amid the cruelty. All the while, her nonfiction follows the canon of good fiction writing: clear narrative, descriptive, yet unembroidered detail and leaving the reader with confidence they have followed a journey well worth taking.
Also, thank you to Harry, Alexis, Laura, Bernie and Kateri for sharing your talented work in Svoboda’s workshop.
