I tried to attend a session on how working class students (at community colleges) were not allowed to read working class lit (because they have to skill & drill, I have taught Developmental Reading)… but the presenters did a “no show,” so this audience went across the hall in the Student Union (Dining Room A — B) and heard Jan Beatty, Judith Vollmer and Peter Oresick read. Hilarious and really sad, just go buy their books. But for a glowing picture of Jan and a rather poor one of Judith and Peter, you can have my notes session if you email me at cwolfe@pitt.edu The wonderful Terrance Hayes was to have been there too, but he was at another conference in NYC and could not get the connecting flight back. It was okay, Peter read from his latest Wahrhola-a-mania. YOU WILL WANT TO BUY IT!
