Why Fiction Matters with Liz Strout and Andre Dubus III
In Elizabeth Strout’s My Name Is Lucy Barton a New York Public Library librarian asks, “What is your job as a writer of fiction?” It’s a question worth asking two writers who have devoted their lives to writing and reading fiction. This conversation will explore the layers of their craft, their thoughts on the state of the genre and why fiction is so important. Presenters: Andre Dubus III, Elizabeth Strout Moderator: Leslie Hendrickson Newburyport Literary Festival 2016. Video by RTD Photo and Video rtdphotoandvideo.com
