PEN America Author’s Evening with Christine Coulson
Headshot by Taylor Jewell
Join us for an intimate dinner in Dallas with Christine Coulson discussing One Woman Show: A Novel. This promises to be a fascinating evening, and we hope that you will join us. This evening is being generously hosted by Lauren Embrey & Cris Worley.
Author Christine Coulson spent twenty-five years writing for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her final project was to write wall labels for the museum’s new British Galleries. During that time, she dreamt of using The Met’s strict label format to describe people as intricate works of art. The result is this bullet of a novel that imagines a privileged twentieth-century woman as an artifact—an object prized, collected, and critiqued. With poignancy and humor, Coulson’s playful reversal on our interaction with art ultimately questions who really gets to tell our stories.
Donations to attend this evening are $250. Following your RSVP, you will be sent the address for the dinner.
