A Panel Discussion on Jewish Writers in NYC

I thought this event taking place just across the Hudson in Manhattan this coming Tuesday might be of interest:

Growing Up Chosen

Jewish Writers and Their Childhood


SPONSORED BY THE
FORDHAM UNIVERSITY
CENTER ON RELIGION AND CULTURE

Tuesday, 6 December 2011  |   6 - 8 p.m.
Pope Auditorium  |  Lincoln Center Campus 
Corner of Columbus Ave. & 60th St.

    Q: What do you do with a Jewish childhood 
    A: You write about it. 
    The temptations, excitements, satisfactions and angst of going from childhood memories to written text--join us for an evening of readings and discussion with three distinguished writers. The discussion will be followed by a book-signing.
