Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live as another person, if only for a day? For a week?

For three years?

Mary Paynter Sherwin brings us the famous case of Martin Guerre for inspiration this week as we look at capturing another person’s life in our work. We’ll read examples from other writers that might make us think twice about what it means to be an imposter. We may even have a chance to become döpplegangers ourselves.

There’ll be plenty of time for people to read their own pieces…especially if they’re about someone else. 7P, March 29, 2011 @ SPLAB. Don’t miss it!—-
