Thu 11/21 @ 7pm
Plain Dealer book editor Joanna Connors and critic Karen R. Long, who manages the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, will discuss the art and craft of reviewing a book, and how the changes in publishing have complicated and diluted the practice.
They’ll discuss reviewing, both locally and nationally, and how the literary conversation splinters and gathers online. They’ll talk about their own approach to reviewing and the merits of writing negative reviews versus the merits of writing positive reviews. Questions from the audience will be welcome throughout the discussion.
