"Cutting-edge" sensation to lead fiction session

BWC 2009 will feature a craft lecture in fiction writing from novelist and short story writer Elise Levine. Originally from Toronto, Levine was named by Margaret Atwood as one of Canada’s most important emerging women writers. Reviewers have called her “a cutting-edge literary sensation” and “a sensitive, cagey dominatrix of literary form and human psychology." Her books include the story collection Driving Men Mad and the novel Requests and Dedications.
