Join us on April 20 when Ron Carlson will be our featured guest. Ron Carlson is the director of UC-Irvine's M.F.A. program in fiction and professor of English, is the award-winning author of several short story collections and five novels. His collection, The Hotel Eden, was a New York Times Notable Book and Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year. His novel The Speed of Light, was his first for young readers. He also wrote Ron Carlson Writes a Story (Graywolf), an excellent book on the writing of short fiction. On this evening, he will talk with Barbara about writing fiction, long and short form, and will take your questions. Orange County's independent bookseller, Laguna Beach Books, will be on hand selling Ron's books.
