2015 Lit Fest Salon: The Essence of Darkness

The Literary salon has been a tradition at Lit Fest, featuring three or more speakers with varying perspectives on a theme, along with audience participation.

Writers are notoriously terrible party guests. They sulk in the corner, don’t talk to anyone, and spend all their time ruminating on existential dread. What’s that all about? In this discussion, panelists Travis Heerman, Sarah Schantz, Emily Rapp, and Kim Addonizio, will explore just what is so attractive about dark material.
