Home > Events > Women of Beth El > Women of Beth El Sukkah Social
Join Women of Beth El for our annual Sukkah Social. We’ll gather in the sukkah and then move inside for some schmoozing, noshing, and a little Sukkot-related learning from special guest speaker Paula Whyman. Whyman will share her story and answer questions.
Bad Naturalist is Paula Whyman’s first book of nonfiction. Her earlier book, You May See a Stranger, is an award-winning linked short story collection. Her writing has appeared in The Washington Post and The American Scholar, and in journals including McSweeney’s Quarterly, Virginia Quarterly Review, Ploughshares, and The Hudson Review. She was awarded residencies by MacDowell, Yaddo, VCCA, The Studios of Key West, and Oak Spring Garden Foundation. Her work on this book was supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council. She spends her time on a mountain in Virginia with her husband and a mercurial standard poodle. Visit her at paulawhyman.com, and keep up with news from the mountain via her Bad Naturalist newsletter.
