THE POLITICS OF FICTION****
** **
** **
>From Mark Twain to Zora Neale Hurston, Carlos Fuentes to Sara Paretsky and
the late Václav Havel, writers have used fiction to skewer and satirize,
make social commentary and offer wry observations about the socio-political
scene, race relations, gender
the gamut of the human condition.****
** **
With that in mind, on *Saturday, January 21, from 2-3:30 pm*, several
contributors to the recent incendiary anthology *Send My Love and a Molotov
Cocktail! Stories of Crime, Love and Rebellion* from PM Press will engage
in a rollicking discussion about their stories, fiction and politics, and
the politics of fiction, at the *William Grant Still Art Center, 2520 S.
West View Street, Los Angeles, CA 90016*, near Adams and La Brea. There
will be a book signing after the discussion.****
** **
The panelists are: *Larry Fondation* a veteran community organizer and
novelist who is ****
a recipient of a Christopher Isherwood Fellowship in Fiction Writing; *John
A Imani, *a long-time revolutionary living and working in L.A. and under
the name of S John Daniels he has written and produced six plays and is the
author of three novels; *Penny Mickelbury, *the author of ten mystery
novels in three successful series and several short stories; and *Luis J.
Rodriguez, *a poet, novelist, short-story, childrens books, and nonfiction
writer and essayist with 15 published books.****
** **
Moderator is novelist and activist *Gary Phillips*, co-editor and
contributor to the *Send My Love and a Molotov Cocktail!* anthology. The
panel is co-sponsored by the fair living and advocacy website fourstory.org/
. For more information call: (213) 847-1540.
