EWU Visiting Writer Series: Kristin Dombek

Award-winning essayist Kristin Dombek is the next notable writer to share her advice, wisdom and excerpts from her work with the reading public of the Inland Northwest as part of Eastern Washington University’s 2016-17 visiting writer series. Dombek’s prose has been printed in esteemed publications such as Harper’s, The Paris Review, The New York Times Magazine and n+1, for which she also writes an advice column called “The Help Desk.” Her seven-chapter treatise The Selfishness of Others: An Essay on the Fear of Narcissism was just released this summer; Dombek has also written boldly and candidly about abortion, addiction, religion and sex. Expect an enlightening and insightful talk from Dombek during her Spokane stop, and perhaps to walk away feeling prompted to deeply reflect on the modern world we live in.
