- **Event Description**: A reading + craft talk by NYU professor and author Tim Tomlinson exploring the boundaries of short fiction.About this EventThe Short Story: Conventions & InnovationsA reading from Tim Tomlinson's short fiction and a craft talk about story conventions versus story innovations. About writing fiction, Flannery O'Connor said that you can do whatever you can get away with, but you'll find that you can't get away with very much. These days, though, you can probably "get away with" a lot more than Flannery O'Connor ever imagined. In this reading and craft talk, we’ll consider some of the conventions guiding storytelling, and we'll look at examples of story strategies that circumvent or ignore them all together.Bio:Tim Tomlinson is the author, most recently, of Listening to Fish: Meditations from the Wet World, a hybrid collection of prose, poetry, and photographs concerned with the splendors of, and the perils facing, the world's coral reefs. He is also the author of poetry collection, Requiem for the Tree Fort I Set on Fire, and the short story collection, This Is Not Happening to You. Currently, he is nearing the completion of two projects: Parentheticals, a story collection from which he'll read, and Work Until Failure, a novel-in-stories. He is the founder and director of New York Writers Workshop, and he teaches in NYU's Global Liberal Studies.Tulsa LitFest is brought to you by the Center for Poets and Writers at OSU Tulsa, Tri City Collective, and Magic City Books.   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/bdc43860-355d-11f1-94cc-3b4f07bbef99-rimg-w449-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg
