This event will celebrate Tin House’s 10th Anniversary by gathering some of this country’s most exciting established and emerging writers who’ve been published by the magazine in the past decade. With readings, personal anecdotes and short interviews, the night promises to be a snapshot of what the magazine offers in each of its issues, quality fiction and poetry with, most importantly, personality to spare.

Proceeds from this event will benefit WITS (Writers in the Schools), a program of Literary Arts.

For the best seats in the house, make a donation of $50 or more, and you will receive a complimentary ticket to this special event from Literary Arts.

EMCEE – COLSON WHITEHEAD
Colson Whitehead is the author, most recently, of Sag Harbor, his first “autobiographical” novel. Whitehead is also the author of three previous novels The Intuitionist, John Henry Days, which was a finalist for the National Book Critic Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize, and Apex Hides the Hurt, as well as a collection of essays, The Colossus of New York.

He received a 2002 MacArthur “genius grant,” and the judges called him “a bold experimental writer whose social and philosophical themes speak to the heart of American society.” Whitehead’s articles about music and television have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Spin and Village Voice.”
