Local Writer’s Series: Scott Geisel
Thursday, October 24, 7 pm
Local writers will offer book and poetry readings in this new series during September and October in the Great Room.
Scott Geisel will talk about the challenges, potential pitfalls, and rewards of using real places in fiction. He will show how that plays into thematic elements in the newest novel in the series, Wheat Penny, where the penny is three things at once: a copper coin, the real and wonderful restaurant in Dayton, and a metaphor for the novel. He may also reveal some of the specific strategies and practices he prefers when writing. If that doesn’t tire everyone out, there’s a new novel in progress…
