I'll Fly Away

Wally Lamb talked about the book he edited I’ll Fly Away: Further Testimonies from the Women of York Prison, published by Harper. The book is a collection of autobiographical writings produced in a workshop conducted for the female inmates of Connecticut’s York Correctional Institution. Each of eighteen selections is a re-examination of its author’s life and of the reasons that she ended up in prison. Two more selections are from co-facilitators of the workshop. Contributors to the book or their representatives read selections. They also responded to questions from members of the audience. close
