Patricia Hampl Discusses Regionalism

Patricia Hampl discusses regionalism with participants of the International Writing Program. Hampl defines what regionalism means to her and presents her own definition of the term.  Hampl speculates that Midwesterners feel a lack of regional identity, and she explores what it might mean to be a Midwesterner.  Hampl reads her favorite passage from The Great Gatsby.  She takes questions from the audience at the end.
