W.B. Yeats wrote, “All that is personal soon rots; it must be packed in ice or salt.” Authors Siri Hustvedt, Living, Thinking, Looking; Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård, My Struggle; and Sheila Heti, How Should a Person Be?; will consider how writing technique—“ice or salt”—transforms the personal into art that connects to a broad audience. Moderated by Phillip Lopate.
