Monday, November 10, 2014
Campus Center, Weis Cinema
Steven Millhauser, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel Martin Dressler and such celebrated books as Edwin Mullhouse, In the Penny Arcade, The Knife Thrower, and, most recently, We Others, reads from his work November 10 in Weis Cinema at 2:30 p.m. Introduced by Bradford Morrow, the reading will be followed by a Q&A. Free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations required.“[We Others is] powerful . . . A book of astonishingly beautiful and moving stories by one of America’s finest and most original writers. . . . Millhauser has a fascination with moments in our lives when something inexplicable happens, when our reality collides with some other reality, while the world we had taken for granted up to that moment turns strange, and even familiar things cease to be themselves, stripping us in the process of our identities, and leaving in their place something that has no name. . . . The shock of the real, along with the shock of something that transcends it, is what he wants us to experience. Millhauser is one of the most imaginative writers we have, capable of pure invention. . . . Sublime.” —Charles Simic, The New York Review of Books
