Frequent New Yorker magazine contributor Marisa Silver, author of the acclaimed novel The God of War, leads a workshop about the elements of writing about setting. "Place can provide a springboard for character development and the development of action," Silver says. "Setting is really a function of the characters who see it, live in it, and interact with it." In addition to elaborating this principle through interactive writing exercises, Silver will discuss the publishing process and read from The God of War, which Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Empire Falls, calls "[A] novel of great metaphorical depth and beauty. It stays with you like a lesson well and truly learned."
