Join Genova for online chat
Calling all writing enthusiasts and Book Club fans:
Join Lisa Genova, author of “Still Alice,” Wednesday on buffalonews.com, the Buffalo News Web site, for a live online chat about the novel and the art and craft of fiction writing.
“Still Alice,” Genova’s debut novel and the January selection of The Buffalo News Book Club, is the story of Alice Howland, a Harvard professor, wife and mother, who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s.
The one-hour chat will start at 2 p. m. and will be hosted by Buffalo News staff members Mike Vogel and Charity Vogel. Readers will be encouraged to ask Genova about the novel and about the art of fiction, as well as the business side of publishing.
To join in, visit the News Web site and look for the links to “The Paragraph Factory,” the livechat on writing hosted by the Vogels, found on the “Matters of Opinion” blog.
