Author Talk: Susan Conley - Paris Was the Place

Wednesday, Sept. 25 Author Talk: Susan Conley - Paris Was the Place, 7 – 8:30 p.m.  With her new novel, Paris Was the Place, Susan Conley offers a beautiful meditation on how much it matters to belong: to a family, to a country, to any one place, and how this belonging can mean the difference in one’s survival. This is a deeply moving portrait of some of the most complicated and glorious parts of the human existence: love and sex and parenthood and the extraordinary bonds of brothers and sisters. Susan Conley is a novelist, creative writing professor and memoirist. A native of Maine, she earned her B.A. from Middlebury College and her M.F.A. in creative writing from San Diego State University. After teaching poetry and literature at Emerson College in Boston, Susan returned to Portland, where she cofounded and served as executive director of The Telling Room, a nonprofit creative writing center for students ages six to eighteen. She currently teaches at the University of Southern Maine's Stonecoast MFA Program and is the Jack Kerouac Visiting Writer at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
