Ever wonder what it would be like to sit in an audience with an iconic public figure and a group of peers participating in a panel discussion, every word spoken by the panel shaping the views of its listeners? Such a narrative scene harkens straight from a clip in HBO’s first episode of The Newsroom when Jeff Daniel’s character ‘Will McAvoy’ rallies his best journalistic self to the surprise and adulation of the audience. The difference here? A lively discussion about works of fiction by South Carolinian authors on a stage with Pat Conroy.
