Laura in Scotland and Ireland
Laura is visting Scotland and Ireland, and we wanted to let all her friends know where and when she’ll be appearing.
First is the prestigious Edinburgh International Festival, at which Laura will be participating on August 21 for a talk with renowned psychotherapist and writer Susie Orbach.
Founded in 1947, the festival is a celebration of the creative arts internationally, and its Book Festival is holding this special event with Laura and Dr. Orbach on Monday the 21st, 3:15 pm at the Baillie Gifford Main Theatre (Charlotte Square Gardens, Princes Street, Edinburgh).
Dr. Orbach is the author of Fat Is a Feminist Issue, In Therapy, and other notable titles, and she will be joining Laura for a therapy-themed dialogue that will examine the development of the persona of JT LeRoy. It’s going to be a one-of-a-kind encounter, so be sure to come join them. You can learn more about the details of the talk HERE.
