Zoom Meeting
This week only 10am - 11am
In Depth Doctorow
Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go." So, said E.L. Doctorow. Born in NY. Master of historical fiction or as David Ulin of the LA Times put it "Doctorow created fiction that existed at the intersection of American myth and hypocrisy." We look at 4 of his novels (all about NY), "The Waterworks", "Ragtime", "Billy Bathgate" and "The Book of Daniel". Some of the characters are real and some a little less than real. As the man said...we learn as we go...the mythical Billy Bathgate and the real Dutch Schultz, the real Evelyn Nesbitt and mythical Coal House Walker...join me for the ride....
