About this workshop

Kwon believes that, in every line of our writing, desire can and perhaps ought to be present, which seems truthful to living as we know it: We want and want, and the characters Kwon writes do so, too. Desire is so central to her fiction that it supplies much of a book’s or story's shape: she listens for and follows what her characters want, and, pulled along, finds a world. In this two-and-a-half-hour workshop, participants will look at desire-fueled writing and will dream up some of their own.

R.O. Kwon is the author of the nationally bestselling novel Exhibit, a New York Times Editors’ Choice. Kwon’s bestselling first novel, The Incendiaries, was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Award and the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Prize. With Garth Greenwell, Kwon co-edited Kink, a New York Times Notable Book. Kwon’s books have been translated into seven languages and named a best book of the year by over forty publications.
