Artist in Residence: Sari Wilson – Girl Through Glass

But It’s Fiction! An Intimate Dialogue Between Fiction and Real Life

Sari Wilson, author of the acclaimed novel Girl Through Glass, shares a behind-the-scenes look at making fiction from life. This talk is an intimate look at one writer’s relationship with the material life gives you. Via three short readings from her debut novel Girl Through Glass, Wilson will discuss the real-life inspiration for these sections. The presentation will include images of 1970s New York City and other real-life images that inspired key elements of Wilson’s novel. Wilson’s talk will touch on questions such as: How do you find creative inspiration from life events? How can fictional worlds lead us to deeper truths? View residency >

The reading and presentation will conclude with a 10-15 minute audience question and answer, followed by a book signing of Girl Through Glass..
