Writer's Workshop with Michael Patrick MacDonald

I am quite excited at the prospect of attending a writer's workshop conducted by the author of All Souls Michael Patrick MacDonald. I am pretty sure the workshop will be one great learning experience and looking forward to it. Michael's book All Souls is a memoir about his life growing up in the Old Colony housing projects in South Boston. It is a story of his family living in the midst of crime, drugs and violence in his neighborhood during the years following Boston's busing riots. I haven't read the book but I am pretty sure it is interesting too. Will get to it after this semester is over. For now I will go to class and then the workshop and then loads of errands to run...
