Description

Part of Aspen's appeal is that not only is it a world-class resort, but that it also places such strong emphasis on the arts. The Aspen Writers' Foundation helps foster this reputation by attracting some of the world's greatest writers to the Roaring Fork Valley. Authors such as John Irving, Amy Tan and Clive Cussler have read from their works in a small, private setting. It allows fans to meet with authors without feeling like cattle being rushed through a book-signing line. The readings take place throughout the year, but mainly occur during the summer and winter months.
