USC Literary Conference

The best novels, poems and stories have the power to move us in profound ways. Come join Julia Alvarez, Dana Gioia, Ron Hansen, Alice McDermott, Kevin Starr, Tobias Wolff and many more leading writers, critics, scholars, editors, and journalists—young and old, Catholic and non-Catholic–in a dynamic, serious (but never pious) conversation about the relationship between faith and literature in contemporary American culture. In partnership with the Caruso Catholic Center at USC, the Doheny Library at USC, Loyola Marymount University, Fordham University, Pepperdine University, Azusa Pacific University, and Biola University.
