Jackson\, Charles D'Ambrosio\, and JusMoni DESCRIPTION:The 2019–2020 Hugo Literary Series season is the second in our new home. We’ve spent our first year here working to widen the scope of the region’s literary community\, actively bringing in writers who are using their work to question\, challenge\, and rewrite the narratives our culture passes down to us. \nLike many of you\, we’ve been thinking a lot about the world we live in\, about what separates us and what brings us together. \nThis season\, we want to explore those separations: What is it that divides us from each other\, from what we hope for\, dream of\, deserve\, or crave? And what are we going to do about it? \n\nIn the third installment of this season’s Hugo Literary Series\, three writers and a musician take on the theme “Behind Closed Doors.”\n\nFeaturing former Marine and Jarhead author Anthony Swofford; Mitchell S. Jackson\, author of The Residue Years and Survival Math: Notes on an All-American Family; and acclaimed fiction writer and essayist Charles D’Ambrosio\, with new music from R&B soul singer JusMoni. \n\nAbout the Performers\n\nAnthony Swofford is the author of the memoirs Jarhead and Hotels\, Hospitals\, and Jails and the novel Exit A.
