Hear Who's Here: Scott Lax

Author, columnist and lecturer Scott Lax's presentation is called, "Translating Personal Experience into Art." He will read from and talk about his novels, short stories, essays and nonfiction memoir, and explain how he wove his experiences, observations and imagination into each of these writing genres. And he will respond to speculation about his first novel's relationship to the Village of Chagrin Falls, by revealing previously unknown facts concerning his 1970s-era novel "The Year That Trembled." He will also provide a literary update regarding which of the first novel's characters appear in his latest novel, "Vengeance Follows," which is set in present day.
