Willamette Writers Corvallis Presents David Sipress
Writing a Memoir with a Sense Of Humor
Zoom ONLY. Monday, Nov. 27, 2023, 6:30 PM PST. “The New Yorker” staff cartoonist David Sipress will discuss the central role that humor played in his memoir and how humor—and creativity in general—has helped him to navigate difficult life challenges. He hopes to shed light on the art of writing a memoir, including the challenge of memory (what’s true and what might not be entirely true). He hopes to also discuss his creative process as a cartoonist.
