Memoirist and Blogger Stephanie Klein, Author of the New Book “Moose,” to Speak at DePaul University June 6
Memoirist and blogger Stephanie Klein, author of the newly released book “Moose,” will discuss issues involving work-life balance during an author talk and book signing at DePaul University on June 6. Sponsored by DePaul’s Department of Management, the free, public event begins at 11 a.m. in Room 241 of DePaul’s Lewis Center, 25 E. Jackson Blvd.
“Moose,” published in May, humorously relates Klein’s adolescent experiences at a summer weight loss camp, where she eventually shed 30 pounds and the nickname “Moose.” Her previous work, “Straight Up and Dirty,” chronicled her return to single life after her first marriage ended. Klein, of Austin, Texas, left a job as an advertising art director to write full time. She has remarried and is the mother of twins.
At the DePaul event, titled “Blurred Boundaries,” Klein will discuss balancing work and family and the public’s reactions to her personal choices. Since 2004, she has been writing about her life on a popular blog called Greek Tragedy, which was named for her failed attempt to be accepted into a sorority during college. The blog is posted on stephanieklein.blogs.com. For more information about the event, contact Erin Espeland, Department of Management: 312/362-5202.
