Lit by the River: Two Truths and a Lie-Writing Memoir and Autobiographical Fiction with novelist Bushra Rehman

by

Lit by the River: A Nyack Celebration of Literature! Join novelist Bushra Rehman for a writing workshop.

Writing from life can be a tricky business.  There are people to protect, faulty memories of events, and the pitfalls of self-censorship and self-aggrandizement. This workshop recognizes that our lives are too rich not to write about, and our imaginations are too strong to ignore.  We will use creative techniques to help us overcome silences when writing about truths and lies of our lives.
