Some Favorite Writers: Tara Westover
HAMMER | 7:30 p.m., Hammer Museum
Tara Westover’s debut tells the incredible story of her upbringing by survivalists in the Idaho mountains and her dogged pursuit of a formal education at age 17. "Beautiful and propulsive" (Vogue), Westover’s memoir is not just about her exceptional childhood but also about finding the will to escape it. Westover holds a BA from Brigham Young University and an MPhil and PhD from Trinity College, Cambridge. She was a visiting fellow at Harvard University in 2010.
Readings are followed by discussion with author and UCLA professor Mona Simpson, who organizes this series.
