The Memoirathon: it’s getting to be a tradition and it’s certainly one of my favorite Brooklyn Reading Works events.

Curator Branka Ruzak brings together a stellar group of memoirists. This year the theme is: surviving the recession/depression of 2009/2010.

Below is this year’s memoirists, who will share their woeful and wry tales of survival in these dark economic times. Branka is still accepting submissions if you are interested. Please send to bbranka(at)earthlink(dot)net. 1000 words max.
