The AfterWords Literary Festival presents It Pains Me To Say: A Panel Discussion with Gabrielle Drolet, Claire Cameron and Stephanie Domet at The Carleton on Friday, November 7th at 2:00 PM (doors at 1:30 PM). Please register through the Festival website for this FREE event.
Life is pain, according to philosophers from the Buddha to Schoepenhauer to Nietzche to The Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride. For many writers, pain is both a fact of life, and a subject of art. Gabrielle Drolet (Look Ma, No Hands) and Claire Cameron (How to Survive a Bear Attack) join festival co-founder Stephanie Domet to talk about pain, and how it works in, alongside, and against art.
