Sunday October 14th: OF DEMONS AND DREAMS.
Assimilation, racism, escape, family dysfunction: the best memoirs confront both demons and dreams head-on. Tonight’s readings touch on topics including the loss of a family fortune (host Frances Stroh), finding one’s voice in a new country (Reyna Grande), being seduced by Scientology (Sands Hall), going from broke poet to TV personality (Kari Byron), growing up as a mixed-race child in America (Julie Lythcott-Haims), triumphing over abuse and neglect (Regina Louise), and finding one’s true home (Natalie Singer).
