The Writer’s Garret presents The Writers Studio
for its Exciting Sixth Season
D Magazine says, “Fact: Literary readings can be boring. Another fact: The Writers Studio . . . is anything but.” Inspired by Bravo’s “Inside the Actors Studio,” the Writers Studio brings to Dallas the world’s most accomplished writers for an intimate look at their work. Upcoming authors for 2008 include Louis Begley, Kimberla Lawson Roby, and Louise Erdrich. Past authors from the 2007-2008 season include Ann Patchett and Mary Gordon.
The Writers Studio is both an event and an educational experience. Hosts Randy Gordon, Catherine Cuellar, and Kim Malcolm ask questions that give the audience insight into the life and art of being a writer. Audience members may ask questions as well. Episodes are taped before a live theatre audience for radio broadcast on KERA and NPR affiliates.

Described by the New York Times as America’s “Preeminent novelist of Roman Catholic mores,” MARY GORDON is frequently, and favorably, compared with Flannery O’Connor. Her work often explores conflicts that shape the lives of women through familial and social influence as with her novels Spending, The Company of Women, The Rest of Life, Final Payments, The Other Side, and Pearl. Notably, her memoir, The Shadow Man, examines the disappearance of her father from early life, and her most recent, Circling My Mother, tells of the slow loss of her mother, Anne, through dementia. Her other honors include the Lila Acheson Wallace-Reader's Digest Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, O. Henry Award for Best Short Story, and the Janet Heidegger Kafka Award (twice). She teaches at Barnard College. Co-Hosts for this event are Catherine Cuellar and Kim Malcolm at Theatre Three in the Quadrangle, 2800 Routh Street, Dallas, TX 75201 Get Directions |
