Workshop #1

I thought workshop #1 was quite interesting and also boring at the same time. The author of Brooklyn wasn’t really a great speaker in my opinion. I was bored because this guy’s voice wasn’t, for the lack of better word, attractive enough (by attractive, I don’t mean physically attractive, I mean like it just wasn’t drawing my attention). However, it was fun because he talked about how the book came about. I guess many people in the audience felt the same way as I did in terms of how it was boring because no one was really into it. I saw people on their computers and their phones. It was nice for Baruch to have the author come in and talk to us, but it was just a bit boring.
