Aspen Words and Mary Louise Kelly

One of the benefits of living in Aspen is the world-renowned people that visit. From world-class musicians, scientists, and world leaders. But my favorite are the authors we attract such as Mary Louise Kelly, NPR host of All Things Considered and author. Her book It Goes So Fast was a wonderful read. Another notable playwright and author I was able to meet was Ayad Akhtar. Actor William H. Macy performed a reading from Akhtar’s play McNeal which is about writing with AI. It made for the most interesting discussion during his talk. Kevin Fedarko, author of A Walk in the Park as another Aspen Words Author for the Winter 20205 series.
