Authors discuss writing and resilience
Yale Schwarzman Center hosted a November 5 conversation between writers Zibby Owens ’98 and Allison Pataki ’07, sparked by Owens’s admiration for Pataki’s recent memoir. The two spoke candidly about the role of writing in navigating life’s challenges—Pataki through letters written during her husband’s recovery from a stroke, and Owens through personal essays on motherhood and work. Owens is a writer, podcaster, and publisher; Pataki is an author of adult fiction, memoir, and children’s books.
