SMU's Darryl Dickson-Carr will discus "Satire & African American Literature" 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Denton South Branch Library, 3228 Teasley Ln., Denton. The Writer's Garret says: "Prof. Dickson- Carr will define some of the key terms needed to understand what satire is and is not, and will offer a brief outline of satire's place in African American literature. Open and interactive discussion will then explore why satire has waxed and waned at different points in time, and why it is especially important now."

| E-mail entryThe entry ""Satire & African American Literature" with the Writer's Garret" is tagged: afriican-american literature , writer's garret It's nothing personal, according to this New York Observer item sent in by reviewer Elizabeth Bennett. The Irish author was spotted at the PEN Literary Awards last month: "I'm not a blog man," he said in his melodious brogue. "I've read two in my life. I really don't like to be sequestered in a room with a screen. I'd rather sit in a bar and listen to some guy uttering platitudes. You need time to think for yourself; I can't absorb it all anymore. A book is enough, and a bar." Thank you, Texas Pages readers, for feeling otherwise. At least now and then. (But if anyone has suggestions on how we can move this whole enterprise to a bar where I can get paid to utter platitudes ... I am all ears.) Comments (0) Leave comment
