We mourn the loss of America's great humanist, humorist, artist and author, Kurt Vonnegut. He joined our Advisory Board in 1994 when he came to Asheville to give a benefit talk for The Writers' Workshop.

A unique video of Vonnegut's talk was made, including an illuminating Q&A with the audience, and a touching introduction by his former student and fellow author, Gail Godwin.

To commemorate the Champion of Irreverence, we are offering a limited number of dvds (or videos) for sale, as well as T-shirts designed by Asheville artist Robin Hill.

All proceeds will go towards our outreach writing programs, including at-risk youth in Appalachia.

Please note: We also have dvds/videos for sale from our Distinguished Authors Series, featuring:

Eudora Welty and Reynolds Price; John le Carre; Don De Lillo; Peter Matthiessen with El. L. Doctorow, Gail Godwin and Helen Henslee; Yevgeny Yevtushenko; Mark Mathabane; Lee Smith; Alex Haley; Peter Taylor; William Kinsella; Clyde Edgerton; Pat Conroy; Bobbie Ann Mason; and our Trail of Tears Commemorative with John Ehle and Dee Brown.
