The Missouri Review
Discovering the best in fiction, essays, and poetry
Murry's Dinner 2010, May 2nd, 6 p.m.
Featuring Thomas Larson
Notice: Due to unforeseen injury, Richard Bausch will be unable to come to Columbia for the originally scheduled reading. Instead, we are happy to present a reading by essayist Thomas Larson
Join us for a benefit dinner for The Missouri Review with essayist Thomas Larson. Thomas Larson is the author of The Memoir and the Memoirist: Reading and Writing Personal Narrative, Swallow Press / Ohio University Press, 2007. His book, now in its third printing, is the first of its kind to evaluate the dramatic rise of the memoir in the last twenty years and to explore the craft and purpose of contemporary memoir writing. His memoir writing includes “Freshman Comp, 1967,” which is about his experiences at Mizzou, which was included in the Anchor Essay Annual: The Best of 1997, edited by Phillip Lopate, Doubleday. Other personal pieces have appeared in Potomac Review, Chicago Reader, Cimarron Review, Hawaii Review, San Diego Reader, and The Cream City Review, where he won the Editor’s Award for Nonfiction.
Your $50 reservation includes a fine Murry's dinner with wine, after-dinner reading by Thomas Larson, and good company with other supporters of quality writing.
