As a motorcyclist, a medical insider, a sailor, a college professor, a mid-life father and a literary whipping boy, Lee Gutkind has proved to be an unlikely success, as he explains in the explosive and hilarious essays collected in Forever Fat: Essays by the Godfather.

His immersion experiences into the motorcycle subculture, the organ transplant milieu and in other heretofore un-mined worlds about which he has written books, including robotics, along with the compelling literary techniques he has developed, has helped to create a new paradigm for writing about the world-the "literature of reality" that is creative nonfiction.

Gutkind is also the founder and editor of The Journal: Creative Nonfiction, the first and still the largest literary magazine to publish, exclusively and on a regular basis, high quality nonfiction prose. To subscribe, click the link at left.

Council For the Written Word is excited to offer this opportunity to writers of all genres to learn from the Godfather in one of his rare appearances in Middle Tennessee.
