I don't know my Lannan from my Folger, but CD Wright is reading at Folger in 2003, and she's amazing. I love her work on the page, and became even more enamoured with it when I saw her read a couple years ago at the Ottawa International Writers Festival. I was very surprised by her reading approach -- it was fast and intense and lively. I noticed Forrest Gander (Wright's partner, I believe) is booked into the Lannan series -- he's someone I'd really like to see read, too. Stuart Ross Toronto
