Aspen Summer Words Date(s): 06/22/08 - 06/26/08 Details: Now in its 32nd season, Aspen Summer Words is a five-day celebration of words and ideas. Led by some of the world's most gifted and engaging writers, Aspen Summer Words brings readers and writers together for author readings and talks, interviews and Q&As, writing workshops, literature appreciation classes, publishing industry panel discussions, private consultations, social gatherings and musical presentations. "I've been to a good many festivals, but I wish I could tuck them in my suitcase and bring them to Aspen, where they could see how it's really done. It's close to the perfect storm ... good food, great organization, spectacular landscape, and deeply engaged readers who also know the value of a handshake. A wonderful place to turn a page." Colum McCann, Irish Writer of the Year and bestselling author of Dancer and Zoli
