Author Robin Silbergleid, Michigan State University professor of English and head of the creative writing program, talks about her broad publishing credits and how she balances an academic career with a writing career. She comments on her memoir "Texas girl," suggests that clear genres are going away as lines between them become more blurred, and explains the differences between memoir, autobiography, and the novel. Silbergleid is interviewed by MSU Librarian Michael Rodriguez for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series. Held in the MSU Main Library.
