Spoken Arts: Author WIlliam Kennedy

By Mary Van Vorst

Buffalo, NY – William Kennedy counts it as a gift that he's been able to stay in one place and know it as intimately as he knows Albany. It's been the site of all seven of his novel, including his Pulitzer Prize winning "Ironweed." His latest work is a political novel called "Roscoe."

Click the "listen" icon above to hear Mary Van Vorst's profile of Kennedy in "Spoken Arts."

You can hear William Kennedy live on Thursday, September 18th at 8pm at the Montante Cultural Center, part of the Canisius College Contemporary Writers Series.
