Michael Paterniti
The Telling Room is proud to present an evening with founder and author Michael Paterniti, one of the most original and empathic storytellers working today. His writing has been described as humane, devastating, and beautiful by Elizabeth Gilbert, spellbinding by Anthony Doerr, and expansive and joyful by George Saunders. In the seventeen wide-ranging essays collected in his most recent book, Love and Other Ways of Dying, he brings his full literary powers to bear, pondering happiness and grief, memory, and the redemptive power of human connection.
He is is a journalist, an essayist, and the bestselling author of Driving Mr. Albert and The Telling Room. His writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, Harpers, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and GQ.
Presented as part of The Telling Rooms Super Famous Writers Series, this conversation, hosted by Kirkus Fiction Prize-winner and Telling Room board member, Lily King, will align with the organizations annual theme for student writers: Encounters. Tickets are $10. All proceeds will support The Telling Rooms free writing programs for Maine youth.
The Telling Room is a nonprofit writing center in Portland, dedicated to the idea that children and young adults are natural storytellers. Focused on young writers ages 6 to 18, they seek to build confidence, strengthen literacy skills, and provide real audiences for their students stories. They believe that the power of creative expression can change communities and prepare youth for future success. More information is available at www.tellingroom.org.
