APPLETON, WIS. -- Short story author and novelist Alyson Hagy will conduct a reading Thursday Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. at Lawrence University's Wriston Art Center auditorium. A reception and book signing will follow. The event is free and open to the public.
Hagy, who teaches creative writing at the University of Wyoming where she is an associate professor of English, is the author of two novels. "Snow, Ashes," a suspenseful portrait of a friendship that survives the hard life of Wyoming sheep ranching and the trenches of the Korean War, was published earlier this year. Her first novel, "Keeneland," was released in 2000.
She also has written three collections of short stories: "Graveyard of the Atlantic" (2000); "Hardware River" (1991); and "Madonna on Her Back" (1986). "Search Bay," one of Hagy's stories in "Graveyard of the Atlantic," was selected by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx for inclusion in "Best American Short Stories 1997."
Her appearance is sponsored by the Marguerite Schumann Lectureship fund.
