Writer Chang-rae Lee to Speak
The Gene Barnett Literary Society presents author Chang-rae Lee — named by The New Yorker as one of the “Twenty Best Fiction Writers Under Forty” — speaking on “The Art of Writing” at 8 p.m., Wednesday, November 16, in Wilson Auditorium, Dickinson Hall, Metropolitan Campus.
Lee is author of three novels, Native Speaker, Aloft, and A Gesture Life. Native Speaker was described by The New York Times Book Review as “One Book, One New York” the single book to be read and discussed citywide. The review says the book “…offers a hopeful take on America’s traditional role as beacon to the world.” Lee also is the winner of the Hemingway PEN Award for first fiction, The Annisfield-Wolf Book Award and Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award. He is a professor in the Council of the Humanities and Program in Creative Writing at Princeton University, N.J.
The event is free for faculty, staff and students with valid FDU ID or a $10 donation for the general public. There are no advanced ticket sales. All tickets are available at the door, starting at 7:15 p.m., on the night of the lecture.
