| Notes: Please join me at AWP 2025 in L.A. for a panel presentation I will be moderating entitled "On Truth & Family Relationships In The Memoir." Hope to see you there. ***Panel Presentation Details: Five well-known memoirists – Charles Bock, Anna Qu, Sorayya Khan, Roberto Lovato, and me (Dorothy Solomon) will present examples from their work and discuss how each has negotiated the often difficult balance between writing the full truth and/or withholding because of sensitivities to family relationships. How faithful to truth must a memoir be when writing about family relationships? What are the ethics (if any) for when to tell all and when to withhold?*** | ||||||||

Venue: Deliver Us from Ervil - Episode 3 |
Address:
|
||||||
| Notes: Podcast Guest: In this episode, journalist Jesse Hyde explores how key members of Ervil’s cult were recruited, and how they morphed into a sophisticated organized crime family. In 1977, when the group failed to extort money from a high-profile target, Ervil sets his most audacious attack into motion: a double murder intended to take out his biggest rivals. Dorothy Allred Solomon provides commentary on growing up in polygamy and the assassination of her father, Dr. Rulon C. Allred, at the hands of Ervil LeBaron. | ||||||||
