John Wideman

I went to see author John Wideman speak. It was an interesting experience. Many people had shown up, most of them not from the school. He was obviously a very influential person. I had never went to see an author speak so I wasn't sure what to expect. From what I understood, it seemed that he wrote mostly about African Americans, and he was able to write in their voice very well. After his introduction, he read a piece  of work that he was working on. That lasted most of the time he had. After that there was a question and answer session. Many people had questions for him about his new work and his old works. It may have been better if I had went there after read some of his writing, but it was still interesting.
