PEN Writers' Roundtable with Hilma Wolitzer
Paragraph is pleased to host a PEN Writers' Roundtable with novelist Hilma Wolitzer, moderated by Barbara Fischkin and Jennifer Vanderbes. Please join us for a discussion on the the art and craft of fiction writing—particularly the character-driven novel—and the joys and rigors of the writer's life.
Hilma Wolitzer is the author of several novels, including The Doctor's Daughter, Summer Reading, and Hearts, as well as a non-fiction book, The Company of Writers. She has taught at Bread Loaf as well as The University of Iowa, Columbia University, and NYU writing programs. Adam Gopnick of the New Yorker says, "The Doctor's Daughter reminds us what novels can do... Wolitzer takes a simple, touching, human situation and enlarges it into a heartbreaking and permanent story of loss and renewal."
