The John Fowles Center for Creative Writing promotes and advances the discipline of creative writing in all its aspects: fiction, poetry, drama, creative non-fiction and film. The Center offers students and non-students alike an opportunity to gain a greater appreciation for the "written word" and those who write it. Each year a distinguished group of national and international writers is invited to Chapman University, making access to those writers available not only to the Chapman community, but to the Orange County and, by extension, the Southern California community as well. Chapman University’s John Fowles Literary Forum offers readings and lectures by internationally recognized novelists, poets, and screen/ playwrights. The 2012 literary series is devoted to Latin American authors. This session features Alicia Kozameh. Alicia Kozameh is an Argentine author and former political prisoner during the last military dictatorship in her country. She is the author of the novels such as, Pasos bajo el agua (Steps Under Water), a fictionalized account of her experience in prison; 259 saltos and uno inmortal (259 Leaps, the Last Immortal), inspired by her life as a political exile. Filmed by Panther Productions.
