2pm THREE PROPOSITIONS ABOUT THE RELATION BETWEEN SPACE AND TIME IN A POEM WITH FRANK BIDART (pictured)
A Panel with Denis Johnson, Charles D'Ambrosio and Yiyun Li; moderated by Lee Montgomery
How about this for a chicken-or-the-egg pickle: what comes first, the character or the conflict? What do you do with a character who refuses to be conflicted or a conflict that repels a character? Do they have to evolve in unison, or can a writer proceed by oscillating between the two? How does one build a compelling character through using equally engaging conflicts? This panel will explore the relation between characters and their crises, and give strategies for developing the two.
8pm Reading and signing with Yiyun Li, David Shields, Colson Whitehead
