Karen McCarthy Woolf: Blending Truth and Fiction

Karen McCarthy Woolf is a prize-winning poet who's now turned her talents to fiction with an extraordinary tale that blurs the lines between truth and reality. Top Doll is the semi-fictional story of the real-life reclusive New York heiress Huguette Clark, but there’s one complication... it’s narrated by her collection of dolls. In this event, McCarthy Woolf discusses her witty, moving, and deliciously unreliable miniature epic with Adele Patrick.
