Award-winning fiction writer and essayist Peter Orner, whose work often celebrates the joy and necessity of reading, is the author of the 2022 essay collection, Still No Word from You: Notes in the Margin, “a unique chain of essays and intimate stories that meld the lived life and the reading life.”
In a starred review, Publishers Weekly said, “Pushcart Prize-winning fiction writer Orner brings his lyrical, mosaic style to the story of his own life in this gorgeous and contemplative memoir.” His previous essay collection, Am I Alone Here?, Notes on Living to Read and Reading to Live (2016), was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism.
Moderated by Ed Schwarzschild, professor at the University at Albany and a fellow at the New York State Writers Institute.
