Author Amity Gaige to Give Reading
Award-winning author Amity Gaige will give a reading at Westminster Feb. 13 as a part of Friday Nights in Gund, a series of readings, lectures and concerts held at Westminster during the academic year. The faculty reader will be English teacher Bryan Tawney who is best known for his funny, but probing personal essays, but who also writes poems and short stories.
Gaige is the author of three novels, “O My Darling,” “The Folded World” and “Schroder,” which was named one of the Best Books of 2013 by The New York Times Book Review, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Kirkus and others. Gaige has won many awards for her previous novels, and her short stories, essays and reviews have appeared in publications such as The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, O Magazine, the Literary Review and elsewhere. She lives in Connecticut with her family and is the current visiting writer at Amherst College.
Gaige’s reading is free and open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m. in the Gund Reading Room of Armour Academic Center. Refreshments will be served after the presentation and ample parking will be available in the parking lot adjacent to Armour Academic Center.
The Friday Nights in Gund series is made possible by generous grants from The Ensign Bickford Foundation and the Ford-Goldfarb English Department Enrichment Fund.
