Geraldine Brooks On Her Writerly Ways
Geraldine Brooks, an Australian-American journalist and author, spoke at McCaw Hall in Seattle about her writing method.
"I swim in a sea of words. They flow around me and through me and, by a process that is not fully clear to me, some delicate hidden membrane draws forth the stuff that is the necessary condition of my life," Brooks said.
Brooks’ most recent work is “The Secret Chord,” a novel based on the life of King David. She was hosted by Seattle Arts & Lectures at McCaw Hall on January 28. Anna Tatistcheff recorded her talk.
