Andrew Winer, writer, artist, Chair of Creative Writing at UC Riverside, and a recipient of an NEA Fellowship in fiction, and Colm Toibin, acclaimed Irish author, poet, essayist, critic, Man Booker Prize finalist, Irene and Sidney B. Silverman Professor of the Humanities at Columbia University, and author of The Master, a subtle fictionalized portrait of Henry James, share the stage and their thoughts about the creative process and the complexity of the human heart in a conversation resonating from this statement by Henry James:

"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process."
