SUMMARY:ENTROPY Workshop with L Scully
DESCRIPTION:ENTROPY is a five week\, virtual\, generative writing workshop hosted by L Scully (Nonfiction\, January 2023).  \n\n\n\nWe are living in a conundrum of degradation. Our bodies age\, the State is falling\, disorder(s) run rampant in our minds. God feels random and chaos feels inevitable. There is no choice but to write toward uncertainty. Cope\, world-build\, freak out\, investigate together.  \n\n\n\nThe structure of this workshop is a weekly meeting of two hours and includes two separate section groups to accommodate scheduling. Each week we will produce the beginnings of 2+ new pieces of writing based on original prompts provided by L live and in session. There is also opportunity to share our collective woes\, check in\, and meet writing partners. One piece of your choice will be critiqued by the group in a supportive and curious environment. We welcome new and seasoned writers alike\, as well as anyone who wants to get into a regular and dedicated creative practice. Classes will be held over GoogleMeet. \n\n\n\nSuggested sliding scale is $150-250 for the five week course. If the proposed payment scale is not reasonable for your situation\, please email L to work something out at leighahscully@gmail.com. They would love to work with you. \n\n\n\nSection A: Sundays Sept. 29 – Nov. 32-4pm EST (no class 10/13\, lesbian wedding)Section B: Wednesdays Oct. 3 – Oct. 306-8pm EST

SUMMARY:Around the World Book Signing with Jorge Armenteros
DESCRIPTION:Visit the English bookshop Librairie Masséna Around the World (58 Rue Gioffredo) in Nice\, France on Saturday 9th November from 5pm to 7pm when author Jorge Armenteros (Fiction\, June 2012) will be signing copies of his latest book – The Curvature of an Absence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the edge of a vanishing sea and under the light of a fading sun\, two writers struggle to understand the sudden absence of affective and natural elements from their lives. As they seek a beautiful but rather elusive presence\, they are forced to confront that which is no longer there. To unravel the mysterious absences\, they embark on the improbable project of writing a book. Their erratic journey produces a book that reveals nothing and everything\, but above all\, that reflects the ardent light of a nascent understanding. \n\n\n\nJorge Armenteros was born in 1961 in Havana. Persecuted by the regime\, his family sought asylum as political refugees in Madrid. Soon after\, the USA granted his family entry and they transitioned through Tampa before settling in Puerto Rico. He was the first student in his school to be accepted to Harvard University. There he took several courses in Spanish and Latin American Literature while completing his biomedical engineering degree. Literature\, nonetheless\, was breathing inside of him. So\, he decided to pursue an MFA in creative writing at Lesley University in Cambridge. The Curvature of an Absence is his seventh novel.
