Festival Pictures: Walter Wangerin, Jr.
Wangerin (author of Paul: A Novel and the National Book Award Winning Book of the Dun Cow) shared a mesmerizing sermon / keynote lecture to close out the festival Saturday night (April 22, 2006) on "Voice(s) in the Wilderness." He spoke compellingly and without notes on the necessity of writers being the essential voice of truth to unknown others, using numerous personal, heartrending examples to seal that importance. He was the only key noter to receive a standing ovation.

Kent,
I'm obviously hopelessly uncultured--I've only heard of three of the names you've mentioned (Card, Miller and Rushdie), and I don't think I've read any of it. Was Louis Lamour there (never mind, he's dead)? How about Scott Adams or Bill Watterson?
