    Texas MFA Showcase

    Don’t worry: As far as I know, the creative writing MFA programs at both UT-Austin and Texas State University weren’t funded by the CIA as an attempt to assert U.S. literary superiority over Soviet fiction. (Note the “as far as I know” as a preventive measure should circumstances later change!) Instead, these post-grad programs have produced talented creatives – including the Chronicle’s editor-in-chief – and Hyde Park hot-spot First Light tributes a half-dozen writers from Texas State and UT’s Michener Center for Writers at this showcase. India Annamanthadoo, Daphne DiFazio, Reena Shah, Irene Han, Joe Lozano, and Kathryn Bailey all step up to the reading plate at 6pm, so enjoy their words while sipping from FLB’s swell espresso bar. – James Scott
